Decompiler’s

Decompiler’s

Abstract

This seminar presents an overview of Decompiler’s, a program which performs exact reverse process of compilers i.e. creating high level language code from a machine /assembly language code. Decompiler’s comes into picture when user needs source code from executables during number of occasion. Decompiler’s mainly deals with Reverse Engineering, which can be used for positive as well as negative purposes depending on application user uses it for. Hence we also needs ways to protect our code from Decompiler’s to avoid misuse. In Industry people’s are taking Decompilation quite seriously like any other department while discovering it’s usability. In this seminar I find I have a foot in two different camps, as a programmer I’m interested in understanding how others achieve interesting effects but from a business point of view I’m not too keen on someone reusing my code and selling them onto third parties as their own. This paper presents an overview of the Decompiler’s working and area of usability.
