   Decompiler...
  Hey, Is there a FREE decomplier for a kind of language on the web????BattleGuard    Courage is no lack of fear, it is the will to act in spite of it  
  Yes, there are plenty of x86 assembler decompilers. What is it you want to do?    How appropriate. You fight like a cow.  ;  My guess is that BattleGuard wants something that'll take a binary and give you the source that generated it....that, as far as I know, isn't possible because the compiler makes some nice changes so that the assembly generated is "optimal", among other things.  You can definitely get something that will show you the assembly calls...    -------------------"Pointer?????"   -Anonymous-=Xelius=-[edited by - xelius on May 10, 2003 7:44:40 PM];  How about something in Visual Studio (6 or .net) anything concerning that??? Actually what I wanted is to take a program, one constructed in Visual Studio and get the rough code if not the exact one...BattleGuard    iSn''T tHiS ThE wOrSt SiG eVeR  ;  It unfortunately can''t be done.  There''d be no variable names, and there are lots of ways to do one thing.  Also, no comments, etc.  ;  i''d say fortunately. few programmers would have jobs if it was possible.  ;  It can be done to an extent.You can work with a disassembly listing and recode to get a working app.Thats called reverse engineering ;  Right. To sum up, it''s completely possible to get the assembly listing, and deduce certain aspects of algorithms used from that. It''s likely to be fairly difficult. If all you want to do is make your own thing which is similar to a preexisting thing, you would be much better off just doing it yourself.    How appropriate. You fight like a cow.  ;  I know there is a decompiler because I searched on the net for ".net decopmiler" and a few decopmilers came up. But they were all like $2000 or so. Is there one free, and if yes where can I download it????BattleGuard    iSn''T tHiS ThE wOrSt SiG eVeR  ;quote:Original post by BattleGuard  I know there is a decompiler because I searched on the net for ".net decopmiler" and a few decopmilers came up.

It will only decompile to CLI assembler, and it will not work on programs that are not made in C# or other CLI-supported languages. In other words, it''s not what you want.How appropriate.
