Title: Looking for a good decompiler - any suggestions? Post by: p3yot33at3r on June 04, 2015, 11:18:57 AM Hello all,
I'm looking for a good (free ;)) decompiler that is capable of decompiling Bitmain firmware - can anyone give me a suggestion? Thanks. Title: Re: Looking for a good decompiler - any suggestions?

Thanks. Nothing to do with decompiling. Title: Re: Looking for a good decompiler - any suggestions?

Can you recommend a suitable (cross platform?) decompiler for regular applications/binaries? Title: Re: Looking for a good decompiler - any suggestions?

You're better off just getting a disassembler and working in assembly - it will completely work, and you can do whatever you want, but it's also much more difficult.

Which software in particular? Its hard to help without knowing specifically what you are trying to decompile and why.There's only one that's even marginally good for compiled (non-interpreted languages), and that's Hex-Rays: https://www.hex-rays.com/products/decompiler/ That being said, you can't recompile what you decompile, so it only will give you is slightly more insight into what they're doing... You're better off just getting a disassembler and working in assembly - it will completely work, and you can do whatever you want, but it's also much more difficult. This is very true, reversing most compiled languages such as c and c++ is very difficult. The software on bitcoin miners is mostly written in c with scripts controlling execution and configuration.
