Hello..
Read again about more of my philosophy about reverse engineering..
I am a white arab from Morocco, and i think i am smart since i have also invented many scalable algorithms and algorithms..
Simply pulling a piece of software through a decompiler does not directly yield easily readable code for several reasons.
First of all, names of variables and functions are not kept through the compilation process, so the decompiler will assign generic names. It is much harder to read code that looks like "f8s6ex2(i37zc, sk1eo)" than it is to read "CalculatePrice(articleId,
amount)".
Secondly, a compiler has a variety of optimization tricks that it will use during compilation to make the code more efficient. A decompiler will return this "optimized" code, which will look a lot less readable than the original.
Just compiling the Delphi mode of freepascal source code with optimizations (-O2 and up) and stripping all debug and profile information, and apply smartlinking, will make it almost
un-decompilable. Not only FPC, but also Delphi.
The level of software reverse complexity is different according to different program languages. generally speaking, compiled language reverse engineering is more difficult than interpreted language. in compiled languages, I think that C++ or the Delphi
mode of Freepascal reverse engineering is the most difficult job. why? because it is very hard to transform assembly language into high level language(C++) or to Delphi mode of freepascal as i am also explaining above.
So in reverse engineering there is almost no way to re-create the Delphi mode of freepascal or Delphi source code from the binary.
Thank you,
