RetDec is a reverse engineering framework and static binary analysis tool. Its primary purpose is to function as an LLVM-based machine code decompiler that translates binary machine code from multiple architectures into high-level C source code. The system employs a multi-stage lifting pipeline to recover program logic, using an intermediate representation to apply optimizations before emitting source code. It distinguishes itself through the ability to identify compilers and packers, perform executable unpacking, and reconstruct class hierarchies and original program structures. The framewo

Angr is a binary analysis framework and static analysis tool used for reverse engineering compiled binaries. It serves as a binary decompiler and a lifting platform that translates machine code into a common intermediate representation to enable cross-architecture analysis. The framework integrates a symbolic execution engine and constraint solvers to determine the inputs required to reach specific program states. It also employs untrusted code sandboxing to isolate guest code from the host environment during analysis. Its capabilities cover control flow and data flow analysis, including the

ILSpy is a .NET decompiler and binary analyzer designed to convert compiled .NET assemblies back into readable C# source code. It functions as a metadata explorer and a common intermediate language viewer, enabling the analysis of compiled code and the execution of reverse engineering workflows. The project distinguishes itself through specialized translation capabilities, such as converting compiled binary XML (BAML) back into human-readable XAML for user interface analysis. It also provides tools for inspecting native machine code and extracting metadata from program database (PDB) files.
