decompiling

I'm concerned about the security of Java executables. They offer little protection against decompilation. With tools like Java Decompiler even a kid can decompile the class files to get the original code. Apart from code obfuscation what can be done to protect a class file? Is the Encrypted Class Loader still a myth? Riduidel In a previous company we had such questions, mainly driven by management paranoia. First of all, you have to understand that absolute security is only a myth: As long as your program is run on untrusted hardware, it can be decompiled, no matter what language you use. The

I'm looking for a program to batch decompile Java classes. I found JAD, but it didn't support some new features of Java, and the benefit of this program is that it can execute from command line and generate a *.java file automatically. I also found JD-GUI. It supports most features of Java, but the shortcoming is that it can't do batch processing. You need to open the class file with the program and click save. Is there a way to make JD-GUI do batch processing like JAD? Command line decompilation for JD-GUI is a highly requested feature but it's not implemented yet. Perhaps you can use the

I recently read about decompilation of iOS apps and I'm now really concerned about it. As stated in the following posts ( #1 and #2 ) it is possible to decompile an iOS which is distributed to the App Store. This can be done with jailbreak and I think with copying the app from memory to hdd. With some tools it is possible to read out strings (strings tools) dump the header files reverse engineer to assembly code It seems NOT to be possible to reverse engineer to Cocoa code. As security is a feature of the software I create, I want to prevent bad users from reconstructing my security functions

In the FAQ of the Boomerang decompiler (which currently only decompiles to C-code) they make a brief mention that Visual Basic exes happen to include a lot of metadata, so a Visual Basic decompiler might be able to produce better source code for Visual Basic programs than what Boomerang can give you. Since the program I'm trying to decompile might actually be a VB 6 program, do you know of any decompilers for VB6 exes? (Don't worry this isn't for nefarious purposes. I just have to create a data file this program parses, and getting a sense of the strategy it uses to parse the file will help

I lost all my .jrxml files, but I have .jasper files. Can I decompile .jasper files to .jrxml files? If yes, that would be a great help for me. *.jasper files can be opened directly from ireport, Ireport decompile automatically the file. win98 import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRException; import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.util.JRLoader; import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.xml.JRXmlWriter; import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JasperReport; class JasperToXml { public static String sourcePath; public static String destinationPath; public static void main(String[] args) { sourcePath = "..File1
