Class Diagram reversed engineered?
Hi all, I recently worked with UModel 2010 to generate a Class Diagram from my Visual Studio 2010 C# project. I have to admit, apart from crappy placement, it worked great (for me)! problem is, my trial licence is expired, so I would like to know if someone has a nice and free alternative. I only need to reverse engineer the class diagra...
Bestpractice approaches for reverse engineering VB6 code with out knowledge of the domain
target state: Porting VB6 Code into C#, undertake the whole project with all conceivable processes that are involved. What would be your approach if you do not have knowledge about the domain?

Are there any tools that make keeping the UML models in-sync with the code completely seamless?
UML Round-Trip Engineering tools with seamless synchronization? The Rational suite purports to do it. But it's so pricey and clunky at drawing (worse than the Rose days) that it's not in the reach of most departments. What’s amazing is that the free Bouml seems to do a fantastic job. It’s just feels too clunky to use. It has a great de...

I am currently writing an OS X driver for the NewTek LiveControl LC-11 as seen here. newtek.com/addons/livecontrol.php In the course of my reverse engineering I have found that it is using a serial to USB converter and that it communicates with hexadecimal output when a button is pushed or an analog value changes. Using this output...

Using undocumented classes in C++
I'm in the process of reverse-engineering a Windows executable. I found a class that I want to use from some code that I inject into the executable (different thread, own stack). How would I go about declaring such a class, given method addresses and member variables structure? For instance, let's say I found a class called foo, with it...

Can't decode a simple ARM function prototype from a dissasembly?
I can't figure out the prototype for this simple function: In stack: Function call: That's what I got so far, and it causes an error. //No idea void CameraDeviceCreate(int one,int two,int* three); There are three registers used (R0,R1,R2) so there should be three arguments. Third one refers to a stack variable (I still don't get...

a = -2147483648 - a; compiler optimization
Hello, I'm trying to learn how to reverse engineer software and all the tricks to understand how the code looks like before the compiler optimizations. I found something like this several times: if (a < 0) a = -2147483648 - a; I originally thought it was an abs(): a underflows so you get the positive value. But since a is n...
Reading proprietary file type
How does one develop a software to read a proprietary file type without having that proprietary software. Something like what the open office folks did with MS Word (.doc) files. Open Office can read .doc files. That might be easy if the proprietary software has an open source SDK to it, for example Adobe has the Flex open source SDK so...
