A decompiler is a computer program that translates an executable file back into high-level source code. Unlike a compiler , which converts high-level code into machine code, a decompiler performs the reverse process.
.NET Reflector is a class browser, decompiler and static analyzer for software created with .NET Framework, originally written by Lutz Roeder. MSDN Magazine named it as one of the Ten Must-Have utilities for developers, [1] and Scott Hanselman listed it as part of his "Big Ten Life and Work-Changing Utilities".
In 2005, Guilfanov founded Hex-Rays to pursue the development of the Hex-Rays Decompiler IDA extension. [24] [25] In January 2008, Hex-Rays assumed the development and support of DataRescue's IDA Pro. [26] [27] In 2022, Hex-Rays was acquired by a group of investors led by Smartfin, a European venture capital and private equity investor.
A disassembler differs from a decompiler, which targets a high-level language rather than an assembly language. Assembly language source code generally permits the use of constants and programmer comments. These are usually removed from the assembled machine code by the assembler. If so, a disassembler operating on the machine code would ...
The decompiler component is written in C++, and is therefore usable in a stand-alone form. [ 7 ] Scripts to perform automated analysis with Ghidra can be written in Java or Python (via Jython ), [ 8 ] [ 9 ] though this feature is extensible and support for other programming languages is available via community plugins.

Originally developed as an internal tool for a CTF team, [4] the developers later formed Vector 35 Inc. to turn Binary Ninja into a commercial product. Development began in 2015, and the first public version was released in July 2016.
A number of software tools can decompile a WinHelp file into its source documents: HPJ, CNT, RTF, BMP, and SHG. An HPJ file is the project file that is created and edited in the Help Workshop (or a third party help authoring tool).
Side-by-side assembly (SxS, or WinSxS on Microsoft Windows) technology is a standard for executable files in Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows 2000, and later versions of Windows that attempts to alleviate problems (collectively known as "DLL Hell") that arise from the use of dynamic-link libraries (DLLs) in Microsoft Windows.
