reverse-engineering

Goal My goal is to get an UML model out of my JavaScript project (consisting of several .js files) and store it as XMI. How far I've come I searched the internet and found out js/uml is the first place to go. I've managed it to get the js/uml plugin running with Eclipse 3.7.1 (Win32) and a local installation of my pre-downloaded additional plugins: mdt-uml2tools-Update-incubation-I201103290512.zip (installs required org.eclipse.uml2.diagram.clazz 0.10.0) jsuml-eclipse-0.8.4.zip (only works with Eclipse 3.7.1 (Indigo)) I loaded the provided example project jsuml-example-yui-0.8.4.zip into

I have a program i frequently use that is made with .NET. This program has a small bug that is very annoying and the developer to the app is nowhere to be found. I have found the location of the problem in reflector and just want to add a single if-statement here and then recompile the program. What is the easiest way to do this? I have tried using the export-function in reflector but it doesn't seem to work perfectly. For example alot of using-directives are missing and enums that are cast back and forth to ints are also not exported properly. I believe i can fix this with some work but i'm

Is it legal to add support for a 3rd party file format in my application by reverse engineer a unencrypted binary file format from another application, and reading the contents? Depends on your location. In the EU it is specifically permitted (article 6 EU software convention) to "reverse engineer file formats for the purpose of interoperability" In general it's hard to prevent someone reading a file format, there have been examples where you are prohibeted from writing a file because the format contains patented technology (if software patents are allowed in your country). This was the case

Looking at kernel32.dll as it is loaded into memory, I see the following export ordinal table: (gdb) x /400hd $eax 0x776334b0 <Wow64Transition+71576>: 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 0x776334c0 <Wow64Transition+71592>: 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 0x776334d0 <Wow64Transition+71608>: 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 0x776334e0 <Wow64Transition+71624>: 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 0x776334f0 <Wow64Transition+71640>: 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 0x77633500 <Wow64Transition+71656>: 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 0x77633510 <Wow64Transition+71672>: 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 0x77633520 <Wow64Transition+71688>: 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 0x77633530

How can I determine which platform or programming language was used to build a particular Windows desktop application? Igal Tabachnik There are several ways to try and detect in which language a particular software was written. Usually, the tools that do that examine the PE Header and try to make an educated guess. Sometimes authors compress/encrypt the PE in such way that makes this detection next to impossible. There is an old tool called PEiD which can help you identify in which language was the software written. the_mandrill The Dependency walker may also shed some light by showing all the

I'm trying to find a constant (something like a secret token) from inside of an iOS app in order to build an app using an undocumented web API (by the way, I'm not into something illegal). So far, I have the decrypted app executable on my Mac (jailbreak + SSH + dumping decrypted executable as file). I can use the strings command to get a readable list of strings, and I can use the class-dump tool ( http://stevenygard.com/projects/class-dump/ ) to get a list of interface definitions (headers) of the classes. Although this gives me an idea of the app's inner workings, I still can't find what I'm
