Hey Guys,

I have a side project I've been poking at for which I could really use a good, free or cheap C code decompiler.  DCC unfortunately doesnt seem to know the current exe format on Windows.

Any of you guys have good suggestions for a C reverse-engineering tool that isn't very very expensive?

I do know of something.. I got a free trial for research purposes (trying to show relative risk of .class files vs. .exe in terms of protecting IP).

I'll look it up... sec...

Check out IDA http://www.datarescue.com/idabase/

It actually doesn't decompile... it is more of an advanced disassembler.. but it is quite good.

Haven't tried it myself, but someone mentioned REC to me some time ago.

Tried REC.  Unimpressed with the results.

basically its a disaambler that reciognizes control structures (for loops, etc) and thats about it.

dcc does a much better job.  I may try it with the Linux version of the code Im reverse engineering.  Boomerang looks like its going to be great but its in pre-alpha at the moment.
