decompiling

Google recommends and packs in ProGuard for code obfuscation. However the default configuration that it comes with seems minimal and one can reverse engineer to certain extent. Most people looking to reverse engineer are not really looking for detail code, but may be extract the logic. Are there any guidelines so as to configure ProGuard more efficiently ?(Something to the extent Javascript is minimized would be good.) Secondly, there are tools like apktool that enable extracting the Manifest as well as the resource files. And there is no level of obfuscation in them. These can certainly

I'm working on a project where we're doing a lot of remote object transfer between a Java service and clients written in other various languages. Given our current constraints I've decided to see what it would take to generate code based on an existing Java class. Basically I need to take a .class file (or a collection of them) parse the bytecode to determine all of the data members and perhaps getters/setters and then write something that can output code in a different language to create a class with the same structure. I'm not looking for standard decompilers such as JAD. I need to be able

I am working on previously developed software and source code is compiled as linux shared libraries (.so) and source code is not present. Is there any tool which can extract source code from the linux shared libraries? Thanks, Ravi There isn't. Once you compile your code there is no trace of it left in the binary, only machine code. Some may mention decompilers but those don't extract the source, they analyze the executable and produce some source that should have the same effect as the original one did. You can try disassembling the object code and get the machine code mnemonics. objdump -D -

Why decompiling a delphi exe, is so easy, compared to others executables built with other programming languages/compilers? There are a few things that help with reversing delphi programs: You get the full form data including the name of event handler methods All members with published visibility have metadata used with RTTI The compiler is pretty bad at optimizing. It does no whole program optimization and the assembly is usually a straight forward translation of the original source with only minor optimizations. (At least it was in the versions I used, might have improved since then) All

I am really interested in assembly language and I want to learn about how exe files work how dlls run etc... and I have an idea of writing an application to decompile an exe to assembly code since i am not a very good assembly programmer and with the lack of knowledge of the inner working of exe I couldn't do it. Since I can read an exe in hex i think it is not impossible but I don't know how to write my own program. Any resources or any help would be appreciated. I think you're looking for a disassembler not a decompiler. IDA pro seems to be popular and you can download an older version for

I have the following java class: class Outer { private Integer a; private Long b; class Inner { public void foo() { System.out.println("a and b are " + a + " " + b); } } } when I run javap on Outer and Outer$Inner, I get the following: C:\test>javap Outer Compiled from "Outer.java" class Outer extends java.lang.Object{ Outer(); static java.lang.Integer access$000(Outer); static java.lang.Long access$100(Outer); } C:\test>javap Outer$Inner Compiled from "Outer.java" class Outer$Inner extends java.lang.Object{ final Outer this$0; Outer$Inner(Outer); public void foo(); } I have two questions: 1)
