Executable files stripped of such context are far more challenging to translate into meaningful source code. Some software developers may obfuscate, pack, or encrypt parts of their executable programs, making the decompiled code much harder to interpret. These techniques are often done to deter reverse-engineering, making the process more ...
A decompiler is a tool that can reverse-engineer source code from an executable or library. This process is sometimes referred to as a man-in-the-end (mite) attack, inspired by the traditional "man-in-the-middle attack" in cryptography. The decompiled source code is often hard to read, containing random function and variable names, incorrect ...
Dotfuscator is a tool performing a combination of code obfuscation, optimization, shrinking, and hardening on .NET, Xamarin and Universal Windows Platform apps. Ordinarily, .NET executables can easily be reverse engineered by free tools (such as ILSpy, dotPeek and JustDecompile), potentially exposing algorithms and intellectual property (trade secrets), licensing and security mechanisms.
It supports a variety of executable formats for different processors and operating systems. It can also be used as a debugger for Windows PE, Mac OS X Mach-O, and Linux ELF executables. A decompiler plug-in, which generates a high level, C source code-like representation of the analysed program, is available at extra cost. [4] [5]
OllyDbg is often used for reverse engineering of programs. [9] It is often used by crackers to crack software made by other developers. For cracking and reverse engineering, it is often the primary tool because of its ease of use and availability; any 32-bit executable can be used by the debugger and edited in bitcode/assembly in realtime.

A disassembler is a computer program that translates machine language into assembly language—the inverse operation to that of an assembler.The output of disassembly is typically formatted for human-readability rather than for input to an assembler, making disassemblers primarily a reverse-engineering tool.
Ghidra (pronounced GEE-druh; [3] / ˈ ɡ iː d r ə / [4]) is a free and open source reverse engineering tool developed by the National Security Agency (NSA) of the United States. The binaries were released at RSA Conference in March 2019; the sources were published one month later on GitHub. [5]
Code morphing is an approach used in obfuscating software to protect software applications from reverse engineering, analysis, modifications, and cracking. This technology protects intermediate level code such as compiled from Java and .NET languages (Oxygene, C#, Visual Basic, etc.) rather than binary object code. Code morphing breaks up the ...
