Interactive Decompiler

Interactive Decompiler is a cool tool that lets you dive into Assembly code and translate it into C language. It’s kind of like taking a puzzle apart piece by piece. You start with a basic translation and then keep refining it through some handy low-level tweaks. The idea is to make understanding and working with Assembly a lot easier!

Key Features of Interactive Decompiler

Here are some cool things you can do:

• Import Intel IA32 Assembly code using AT&T syntax, which is what the gcc compiler usually uses.


• Visualize and export your work as quasi-C language code.


• Use a context-sensitive refactoring browser to explore low-level refactorings.


• Visualize and play around with the Control Flow Graph (CFG) and Abstract Syntax Tree (AST).


• For developers:




• You can represent programs using an extensible data type.


• The architecture is easy to extend—add new metadata, processors, refactorings, or visualizations as needed!


• An embedded language is available for defining refactorings and other transformations.


• You can even modify refactorings while the program runs!

Limitations

Keep in mind:

• The IA32 instruction set isn’t fully supported yet—floating-point and SIMD instructions are still in progress.


• Not every refactoring option is implemented; some have only partial support.


• The data flow analysis mostly focuses on register variables.


• A few necessary refactorings are missing because there just hasn’t been enough time yet.

Requirements for Using Interactive Decompiler

You’ll need these:

• Python (2.4 or greater)


• PyGTK (2.10 or greater)


• Graphviz


• pyparsing


• pydot
