A decompiler is a computer program that translates an executable file back into high-level source code. Unlike a compiler , which converts high-level code into machine code, a decompiler performs the reverse process.
A decompiler plug-in, which generates a high level, C source code-like representation of the analysed program, is available at extra cost. [4] [5] IDA is used widely in software reverse engineering, including for malware analysis [6] [7] and software vulnerability research.
Ghidra (pronounced GEE-druh; [3] / ˈ ɡ iː d r ə / [4]) is a free and open source reverse engineering tool developed by the National Security Agency (NSA) of the United States. The binaries were released at RSA Conference in March 2019; the sources were published one month later on GitHub. [5]
Binary Ninja is a reverse-engineering platform developed by Vector 35 Inc. [1] It allows users to disassemble a binary file and visualize the disassembly in both linear and graph-based views. The software performs automated, in-depth code analysis, generating information that helps to analyze a binary.
A module is implicitly generated by the compiler. The function is referenced by an entry of the type table in the binary, hence a type section and the type emitted by the decompiler. [115] The compiler and decompiler can be accessed online. [116]
Jad (Java Decompiler) is, as of August 2011, an unmaintained decompiler for the Java programming language. [1] Jad provides a command-line user interface to extract source code from class files . See also
Dotfuscator is a tool performing a combination of code obfuscation, optimization, shrinking, and hardening on .NET, Xamarin and Universal Windows Platform apps. Ordinarily, .NET executables can easily be reverse engineered by free tools (such as ILSpy, dotPeek and JustDecompile), potentially exposing algorithms and intellectual property (trade secrets), licensing and security mechanisms.
.NET Reflector is a class browser, decompiler and static analyzer for software created with .NET Framework, originally written by Lutz Roeder. MSDN Magazine named it as one of the Ten Must-Have utilities for developers, [1] and Scott Hanselman listed it as part of his "Big Ten Life and Work-Changing Utilities".
