I've worked on several flash projects so far. I know my way around AS3 but I also started becoming curious about how other flash programs are written, so I decompiled a few swf files to see how they were made. (I have also read through open source projects, but I don't say that because I feel guilty about decompiling swf files or anythin...
I was just wondering if it was wrong to reverse engineer code? I understand that with languages such as C# it is a pretty easy thing to do. Is it was something that programmers use as a tool in their box of tricks? ...
Is it actually legal to download proprietary programs available from "abandonware" websites such as http://www.abandonia.com? Furthermore, If decide to decompile a program obtained from such a website, with a tool such as Boomerang, would I be able to make my own modifications and distribute it under a free/Open Source license? ...
I lost the source code from one project I did on the company I'm working for and haven't been able to find a vb6 decompiler, does that even exists? Forgot to say that I only have the EXE. I completely forgot about this project and rescued the EXE from a user's machine. ...

I came across this post on the MSMobiles.com blog that says the following, among other things: .Net is great in so many ways but for commercial apps? No way! Anybody can just look at your source code. A high end obfuscator will help a lot but any determined hacker will fix your code in less than a day. I know this from sa...
Hear lately I've been listening to Jeff Atwood and Joel Spolsky's radio show and they have been talking about dogfooding (the process of reusing your own code, see Jeff Atwood's blog post). So my question is should programmers use decompilers to see how that programmers code is implemented and works, to make sure it won't break your code...
My SWF, when decompiled with flash decompiler, is generating an empty FLA. The flash object also makes use of an XML file which is not being exported along with the SWF object. What could be done to decompile properly? ...
Is there a way to disassemble Pro*C/C++ executable files? ...
I know also that ASP.NET when published can be precompiled I know that .NET applications are compiled to MSIL that are easily reverted to any .NET language through tools like Red Gate's .NET Reflector. I want to develop and deliver an ASP.NET site where the buyer will host the site and but cannot have access to the code. There is any...
I am designing the application in Flex that connects to some web services to perform some financial transactions. Web services are secured using https protocol and are asking for user token created at login on each request. This is used to authenticate and authorize the user. So far so good. The trick part is that not all of our web se...
I'm looking for ways/tools/projects to translate Java bytecode into other programming languages or, failing that, at least into a structured representation (like XML). Ideally open source, naturally. I've looked at ASM, the "bytecode manipulation and analysis framework". It doesn't support translation to other representations, but looks...

http://www.kpdus.com/jad.html#download ? The above link to JAD (a Java decompiler) is not working. Is there any other place where I can find a Java decompiler? ...
Why is it so easy to decompile .NET IL-code into source code, compared to decompiling native x86 binaries? (Reflector produces quite good source code most of the time, while decompiling the output of a C++ compiler is almost impossible.) Is it because IL contains a lot of meta data? Or is it because IL is a higher abstraction than x86 ...
Is there such a thing as a VB 6.0 decompiler? If so are there any free products that do this? ...
I've got a couple of really old MSDos based paint programs. They work on palette indexed image buffers. They have a number of spectacular shape drawing tools, brushes and effects that simply do not exist in any modern paint program- Particularly not whilst staying within the "bounds" of a low color palette indexed image. I would like to ...
