Decompilers

  • JVM-based languages

  • Krakatau - the best decompiler I have used. Is able to decompile apps written in Scala and Kotlin into Java code. JD-GUI and Luyten have failed to do it fully.

  • JD-GUI

  • procyon

    • Luyten - one of the best, though a bit slow, hangs on some binaries and not very well maintained.

  • JAD - JAD Java Decompiler (closed-source, unmaintained)

  • JADX - a decompiler for Android apps. Not related to JAD.

  • .net-based languages

    • dotPeek - a free-of-charge .NET decompiler from JetBrains
    • ILSpy - an open-source .NET assembly browser and decompiler
    • dnSpy - .NET assembly editor, decompiler, and debugger

  • native code

  • Python

    • uncompyle6 - decompiler for the over 20 releases and 20 years of CPython.

Deobfuscators

  • de4dot - .NET deobfuscator and unpacker.
  • JS Beautifier
  • JS Nice - a web service guessing JS variables names and types based on the model derived from open source.

Other

  • nudge4j - Java tool to let the browser talk to the JVM
  • dex2jar - Tools to work with Android .dex and Java .class files
  • androguard - Reverse engineering, malware and goodware analysis of Android applications
  • antinet - .NET anti-managed debugger and anti-profiler code
  • UPX - the Ultimate Packer (and unpacker) for eXecutables

Execution logging and tracing

  • Wireshark - A free and open-source packet analyzer
  • tcpdump - A powerful command-line packet analyzer; and libpcap, a portable C/C++ library for network traffic capture
  • mitmproxy - An interactive, SSL-capable man-in-the-middle proxy for HTTP with a console interface
  • Charles Proxy - A cross-platform GUI web debugging proxy to view intercepted HTTP and HTTPS/SSL live traffic
  • usbmon - USB capture for Linux.
  • USBPcap - USB capture for Windows.
  • dynStruct - structures recovery via dynamic instrumentation.
  • drltrace - shared library calls tracing.

Binary files examination and editing

Hex editors

  • HxD - A hex editor which, additionally to raw disk editing and modifying of main memory (RAM), handles files of any size
  • WinHex - A hexadecimal editor, helpful in the realm of computer forensics, data recovery, low-level data processing, and IT security
  • wxHexEditor
  • Synalize It/Hexinator -

Other

  • Binwalk - Detects signatures, unpacks archives, visualizes entropy.
  • Veles - a visualizer for statistical properties of blobs.
  • Kaitai Struct - a DSL for creating parsers in a variety of programming languages. The Web IDE is particulary useful fir reverse-engineering.
  • Protobuf inspector
  • DarunGrim - executable differ.
  • DBeaver - a DB editor.
  • Dependencies - a FOSS replacement to Dependency Walker.
  • PEview - A quick and easy way to view the structure and content of 32-bit Portable Executable (PE) and Component Object File Format (COFF) files
  • BinText - A small, very fast and powerful text extractor that will be of particular interest to programmers.
