   stackoverflow.com › questions › 10311189

   Decompiling is essentially the reverse of compiling. That is - taking the object code (binary) and trying to recreate the source code from it. Decompilation depends on artefacts being left in the object code which can be used to ascertain the structure of the source code. With C/C++ there isn't much left to help the decompilation process so it ...

   Decompiler. A decompiler is a computer program that translates an executable file to high-level source code. It does therefore the opposite of a typical compiler, which translates a high-level language to a low-level language. While disassemblers translate an executable into assembly language, decompilers go a step further and translate the ...

   Dec 27, 2018 · Here are the differences between a few key tools you will encounter on the path. Decompilers reverse binaries into higher-level languages, like C++. Disassemblers reverse binaries into assembler language. Debuggers allow you to view and change the state of a running program. Hex Editors allow you to view and edit the contents of a binary.

   Debuggers allow the user to view and change the running state of a program. Decompiler: Software used to revert the process of compilation. Decompiler takes a binary program file as input and output the same program expressed in a structured higher-level language.

   The decompiler's output for a typical program will be from 400KB to 10MB. Although this is still a big volume to read and understand (about the size of a thick book), the time needed for analysis time is divided by 10 or more. The second big difference is that the decompiler output is structured.

   A decompiler is a computer program that receives input in the form of an executable file. If the file's source code is lost or corrupted for some reason, the decompilation process attempts to recover the code, or at least most of it. Unlike a compiler, whose recipient (or final user) is the computer, a decompiler's recipient is a human user.

   What is the difference between a decompiler and a binary program?

   • This task is complex, but straightforward, the program just needs to know all the different instructions and how they are represented in a binary. On the other hand, a decompiler does a much harder task. It takes either the binary code or the disassembler output (which is basically the same, because it's 1-to-1) and produces high-level code.

   What is the difference between a decompiler and a assembler?

   • The original assembler that was used to create the executable is only of minor relevance. A decompiler aims at recreating a compiled high-level language program from machine code into its original format - Thus trying the reverse operation of a C or Forth (popular languages for which de-compilers exist) compiler.

   Does a decompiler give a source code?

   • I know that the decompiler gives the source code if you provide it a binary. However, I don't know how they differ in terms of mode of operationand I ask myself questions like "Why can a android/python code be decompiled but a C code be only disassembled?" Can anyone give a precise difference between these 3 kinds of tools?
