Please give me a hint on how to accomplish this . basically it can't be done. It's a one-way operation. Picture this -- within C there are several ways to print a value to the screen. These all likely produce similar machine code where a register is loaded with the address of the value to print and then a print routine is called. The question when decompiling is: how do you know *which* method of printing a string to decompile to? You can't know. Throw in the fact that code and data are indistinguishable at the machine level, and it's basically impossible. Now remember that there are many many many languages that compile to machine code. How do you even know which language it was originally written in? What language do you target for the decompilation? The transformation of high-level code into machine code is not an isomorphism. It cannot be reversed. That said, there my be ways to make some reasonable guess as to what the code is doing and de-compile to some psuedo-language, but this will still largely be guesswork. If you can make it work even remotely reliably, you could probably get a PhD for the work... A
