Features

• .NET Decompilers - Converts compiled .NET assemblies back into readable high-level C# source code.
• .NET Binary Decompilers - dnSpy converts compiled binaries back into readable C# source code, including support for pre-compiled binaries.
• Metadata Analysis Tools - Converts raw metadata entries into readable source code to understand the underlying structure of compiled elements.
• Compiled Code Analysis - Allows for the examination of intermediate language and native machine code to debug or audit software.
• .NET Metadata Explorers - Provides a specialized explorer for examining internal structural tables and metadata entities of compiled binaries.
• Assembly Metadata Inspection - Explores internal tables and structural definitions of .NET binaries to understand composition and dependencies.
• Binary-to-Source Mappings - Pairs raw intermediate language instructions with corresponding decompiled C# statements for side-by-side comparison.
• Metadata Entity Mapping - Maps raw binary table tokens to high-level objects to allow bidirectional navigation between source and metadata.
• Common Intermediate Language Viewers - Displays intermediate language with type information for each evaluation stack slot to analyze instructions.
• Reverse Engineering Tools - Analyzes the internal structure and metadata of binary files to uncover software functionality.
• Binary Metadata Inspection - Analyzes the raw internal tables of a binary image to examine the structural composition of the file.
• Multi-Pass Compiler Pipelines - Converts binary bytecode to high-level source code through a sequence of discrete, traceable refactoring passes.
• Typed Intermediate Language Analysis - Annotates intermediate language instructions by tracking the types of values on the evaluation stack.
• Embedded Reference Loading - Resolves and loads assembly dependencies that are stored within the resources of another assembly.
• Compiled Code Indexing - Finds specific types, methods, or properties within assemblies using searchable indexes for rapid discovery.
• Binary Analysis Tools - Enables the inspection of native code and PDB metadata across different operating systems.
• Decompilation Transformation Tracing - Views the intermediate state of code at each single transformation step during the conversion from binary to source.
• Assembly Metadata Search - Locates specific types, members, or resources within binaries using text strings and regular expressions.
• Native Code Inspection - Analyzes native machine code within binaries to reveal the underlying implementation of compiled assemblies.
• Code Hierarchy Navigation - Traverses types, methods, and class inheritances using hyperlinks and history tracking to map software architecture.
• Control-Flow Graph Visualization - Generates a graph of block containers to map the logical execution paths of a specific function.
• Control-Flow Graph Generation - Decomposes method bodies into basic blocks and edges to visualize the logical execution paths of a function.
• Embedded - Recursively loads assembly dependencies discovered within the embedded resource streams of a binary.
• Metadata Entity Navigation - Allows jumping between high-level code views and specific low-level tokens to correlate source logic with binary entities.
• Decompiled Project Reconstructions - Processes all assemblies within a project simultaneously to reconstruct the full source code structure.
• Binary-to-Markup Translation - Provides translation of compiled binary XML (BAML) back into human-readable XAML markup for UI analysis.
• Plugin Frameworks - Implements a managed extensibility framework that allows loading external assemblies to add new features.
• Reverse Engineering Tools - Browses and decompiles .NET assemblies.
