decompiling

I am the maintainer of a site that has allegedly 'lost' the source code to a flash swf file. How do I decompile this source? Are there any programs online or offline that I could use? Ohad Schneider This can also be done freely online: http://www.showmycode.com/ EDIT A quick Google search turned up this list, which probably has all the tools you could possibly want (look at the comments as well): http://bruce-lab.blogspot.co.il/2010/08/freeswfdecompilers.html Usually 'lost' is a euphemism for "We stopped paying the developer and now he wont give us the source code." That being said, I own a

This question has been asked before , but each time the accepted answer is simply a resignation to provide function descriptions using Application.MacroOptions ( VBA6 ) ( VBA7 ), but this information does not actually appear as a tooltip, so it does not solve my problem. The Goal What we all desire is to be able to define custom functions by any means (VBA, VSTO, or COM add-in) and give the user the benefit of a pop-up/tool-tip description of the function and its parameters, as appears for every built-in Excel function, either inline or in the formula bar: The widely accepted answer to this

Is there a way to extract the source code from an executable .jar file (Java ME)? adarshr Use JD GUI . Open the application, drag and drop your JAR file into it. elachance You can extract a jar file with the command : jar xf filename.jar References : Oracle's JAR documentation dharam I believe this can be done very easily. You can always extract the source files (Java files) of a jar file into a zip. Steps to get sources of a jar file as a zip : Download JAD from http://techieme.in/resources-needed/ and save it at any location on your system. Drag and drop the jar for which you want the

I need to modify an existing APK, modify the sources and then recompile it. I can decompile it using dex2jar or apktool, it's working great From the jar file I can obtain the java sources (using jd-gui) Then I can modify the java files But now I would like to know how to recompile the java files and put them back into a jar file! (the jar part should be easy, the main problem seems to be how to recompile the java files for android) I know that an other solution is to use apktool and then modify the smali files, but it seems to be really complicated when we want to add a lot of code! My

As we know, Android apps are written in Java. In Java, no matter what you do , it is impossible to protect compiled code from decompilation or reverse-engineering, as the Stack Overflow question How to lock compiled Java classes to prevent decompilation? suggests. How would one go about protecting an app that contains algorithmic trade secrets from reverse-engineering? By "how" I mean not only software techniques, but also other creative approaches. willjcroz The first stop for me would be to optimise and obfuscate the code with ProGuard which is known to work with byte code targeted at

I have a program in which I've lost the C++ source code. Are there any good C++ decompilers out there? I've already ran across Boomerang . You can use IDA Pro by Hex-Rays . You will usually not get good C++ out of a binary unless you compiled in debugging information. Prepare to spend a lot of manual labor reversing the code. If you didn't strip the binaries there is some hope as IDA Pro can produce C-alike code for you to work with. Usually it is very rough though, at least when I used it a couple of years ago. information is discarded in the compiling process. Even if a decompiler could
