Decompile object file

With the first one you can actually get all the exported symbols and their relative executable code in terms of assembly obviously this is true only for the. The second one is aimed to work with intel architectures, but you will be able to analize every executable file and get information about the ELF sections and symbols.

The words for the programs you are looking for are " disassembler " turning the machine language in a. With reverse engineering reading the disassembly one could reconstruct the logic, but the variable names, comments, etc. How are we doing? Please help us improve Stack Overflow.

Bad analogy. It's more like IKEA furniture. With a full understanding of the assembly language manual , compiled code can be manually rebuilt to perform the same task. It is quite difficult work, and it won't be the exact C code since compilers do lots of optimizing but it will be functionally equivalent.

If you know how C code generation conventions work this is great. Getting it back to some form of assembler is usually do-able but its not too readable since all the variables are randomly named. You are really wasting your time trying to prevent this. Ask yourself, do MS or Sun do it? On Wed, 29 Dec , Christian Bongiorno? ANN: Remotesoft. Decompiling object.
