How can I see the source code of an executable file?

Decompiling the code

1. Open dotPeek.
2. File -> Open -> navigate to your project -> select your .DLL/.exe file.
3. Your project will be listed in the projects on our dotPeek under Assembly Explorer.
4. Click your project and find the classes to view the source code.

Can you decompile an executable?

Yes, you can decompile the .exe file and get the source code in three ways as I know (and maybe possible in other ways too 🙂 ) 1. Telerik’s JustDecompile [ https://www.telerik.com/products/decompiler.aspx ]. It is a free software which can decompile but I got many errors using this software.

Can you open an executable file?

Most of the time, you open EXE files directly by double-clicking them in Windows. To begin, click Start and select the “Search” function. When you type the name of the EXE file you want to open, Windows displays a list of the files it finds. Double-click on the EXE filename to open it.

Can we convert EXE to Python source code?

Can decompiled code be made readable?

So when you decompile, the compiler can only guess at what the source code must have looked like, it has no way of knowing what your code was, because that’s gone. If the decompiler is good, the code you get will at least be compilable back into an equivalent executable, and then you can start slowly refactoring it to be readable.

How do I convert the source code to executable code?

The source code can be transformed into executable code by using the GNU C compiler (gcc). The executable or machine code produced is named whatever you wish using the “-o” flag of the gcc compiler. For convenience, the execuatable is usually named the same name as the source code (without the “.c” suffix).

What is the name of the executable code in Linux?

the execuatable is usually named the same name as the source code (without the “.c” suffix). The executable code can then be run on the machine by typing./ (to tell the shell that the program is located in the current directory) followed by the name

Is it possible to get the source code of a binary?

You can decompile the binary. That won’t give you your source code, but it’ll give you some source code with the same behavior. You won’t get the variable names unless it was a debug binary. You won’t get the exact same logic unless you compiled without optimizations. Obviously, you won’t get comments.
