Free Dissasembler???

[Guid0]

Any one know were i can get a decent one for free. I need somehting that will auto detect code. I found a couple that fit my needs, but they are $90+


Maybe you guys can help me. I am wanting to do my first useful project and make a mobo monitor {kind of like the viaHardware Monitor} but i do not know how to read the temp signals. i was hoping to find some open source windows app that i might look at or dissasemble one and look at it. Or maybe you know. I would like to do this in VB. Is it possible.......Sure it is!!!

 

[foshdawg]

there's a whole bunch of free decompilers around

Thanx........cool

I searched for a free dissasemble but all i got was crap-ware.
Does anyone know of any free disassemblers that can decompile VB6, c++, etc.?

 

[Zuck Gou :)]

I dunno if I'm being dumb but when you say disassembler are you speaking of a decompiler?

If a program is Open Source then you needn't decompile it - the source will be available.

Decompiling copyrighted code is VERY illegal.

yeah same thing, the link to the visual basic decompler didn't work.


I don't mean to use one for anything illegal.
I making a program for a guy that works at a local school(chat and file sharing software), if one of my programs doesn't work I need to be able to troubleshoot it right there instead of having to carry around a CD with Microsoft VB6 and install it on the comps which is illegal to do. Then when I get home I can make the necessary improvements. (I have to troubleshoot it at the school because I have no network at home and I don't want to be copying microsoft VB over and over cause that is illegal!)

Decompiling is a very inexact science, and chances are, no decompiler will decompile your program to be just like your source code.

even .dll's that is what i want it for.... i am trying access MBM5 or VIAHM's dll functions so i can get temp reading for a prog i am writing?

it shouldn'nt be for dll's cause we can legaly access like win32 and kernal32 and windows is the most highly gaurded software...Skip if it is then kill this thread and my opligizes.

Can you? Have you read the Windows EULA to make sure this is ok? I'm pretty sure most EULAs say not to do that.

Btw, its spelled "kernel", not "kernal".

Why would Microsoft Visual Studio Provide you with an API viewer? if they didn't want that to happen?

sorry for the misspellings..........although i assure you it is not the first nor will it be the last *********@*****************************%********

Visual studio comes with at least two disassmeblers that I can think of. There's the built in gui debugger which will disassemble. And there's dumpbin.exe which can de set to dump disassembly.

can you please tell me about this? or point me to somewere i can read about it.

Doesn't this give you a hex dump or something?

 

[drunkmonkey]

All I could get the debugger to do I got w/ C++ was Assembly language I think, no real help there.

You can access the DLL's through an API but to dis-assemble them is illegal if they are part of a copyrighted package.

I'm sure if you email Alex he will help you out. He's a really nice guy. I did some beta work with him on the ALI chipsets.

dumpbin /disasm gives an asm dump (and possibly hex too I forget). Details in MSDN (where else..)
