Re: [PEN-TEST] Java Decompilers

Hello,
The best thing I have used so for is the combination of JAD and IDA.
JAD produces a very readable source code and IDA gives you nifty info like
the offsets and eveything so you can hex edit the binary if needed.
You can find other tools at www.suddendischarge.com
The site is one of the best tools compilations around for all those
interested in the reverse engineering field.
BTW: Jad even breaked some so called obfuscators without any problem, maybe
they were just pseudo-obfuscators (can't give any more details because this
was long time ago :))
Have fun :)

OK, been reading and playing with Java2 a whole load recently particulaly
with Java decompilers (amazing how bad some peoples code is, and what
clap-trap code some people have added to make applets crippleware but thats
another subject).

In others experience,what are the best decompilers and deobsfucators ?
