RetDec
A retargetable machine-code decompiler based on LLVM, supporting multiple architectures and file formats.
What is RetDec?
RetDec is a retargetable machine-code decompiler that converts compiled binaries back into high-level source code representations like C or a Python-like language. It solves the problem of analyzing and understanding executable files without access to original source code, which is crucial for reverse engineering, security auditing, and malware research. Built on LLVM, it supports a wide range of architectures and file formats.
Security researchers, malware analysts, reverse engineers, and software developers who need to analyze or audit binary executables for vulnerabilities, compatibility, or educational purposes.
Developers choose RetDec for its retargetable design that works across multiple architectures and file formats without limitations, its advanced features like C++ class hierarchy reconstruction and library code removal, and its open-source nature which allows for customization and integration into security toolchains.
