Decompiler

[Natalia]

Anyone know of a really good decompiler?

A research professor has asked me to decompile a simple C file of hers and to do a little debugging on it. As far as resources go, she told me to hit up the web for a good way of doing it.


I know I can do objdump from the shell to get out the assembly, and then use that with gdb; I just didn't know if there was something that wasn't so clunky and awkward.



Thanks in advance!

OllyDbg - Disassembler?

Ollydbg to just look at it... DASM for simple dead listing, IDApro trial for something a bit more professional.

you can also try boomerang decompiler. it's not the greatest, but if the c was relatively simple it may be helpful

What is it exactly that you need from the file ? An windows file format has a wealth of information contained in it, everything from the PE Header to the TSBitStamp. If its a ' C File ' like you said I see no reason why you would need a decompiler ? All you need to do is fire up an IDE that has C support and just read the code manually :)
I suggest you to take a look at the following tools and go discover young grasshoper :

1. PE Explorer
2. OllyDBG
3. HexView

Goodluck.

do you have a c file? or a binary that is the result from compiling some c source code?

idapro is the best by far. yes, you can load linux binaries in the windows version

I recommend PE explorer. It is much easier to use and understand compared to OllyDBG.
