Programming

Hai,

Is there any tool available to get back the C code from an executable file in solaris. Accidentally the program was deleted by somebody. We need to recover the code since it has to be implemented on another system. I copied that executable and tried to execute it on another solaris machine. But it is dumping the core. In case of java programs, we can use decompilers to get back the code from class files. But for C files .....

If any tool is availble to recover the code means kindly let me know.

Thanks in Advance,
S.M.Vel

The output of most reverse engineering is very hard to read. Are you sure there are no backups anywhere? If you do not have backups then start making them regularly.

You can look at tools like REC.

Or try a google search for "decompiler solaris"

Thanks jim for the reply.
I will use REC decompiler and try to understand the code.
