how to re-engineer code from binary or exe
-
Hi, I have a question there are tools that can identify backdoors in a code by analising binaries of application i.e by doing re-engineering. Can anybody tell me how this works and is there any tool available for this. Thanks SNI

No...I just want to know that is there any tool which does binary (.exe in release mode)inspection so that backdoors can be identified. If yes, whether it is possible with release version of exe or only with debug. Also would like to know are they using assembly code analysis of binary to come to conclusion?

I think Google is the place to look. However, I am not sure that any such tool could identify what you term "backdoors".

You may use the
dumpbintool [^], looking for 'backdoor' or 'please hack here' or 'virus place holder' sections. :-DIf the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler. -- Alfonso the Wise, 13th Century King of Castile.

In general it would be hard to imagine how such a tool would work. The kind of thing you're asking for requires intelligence, which is something computers don't do well; they do dumb but fast. The normal way one would go about doing such a thing would to be use various tools, such as disassemblers, to take out some of the grunt work and help you visualise what's going on, but the user (you in this case) would do the "real" work.

It's always possible. Sometimes it's a little harder than otherwise, but it can not be impossible (since that would mean that you can not see any code, and then how would the CPU know what to do with your program?)

I have now moved to Sweden for love (awwww). If you're in Scandinavia and want an MVP on the payroll (or happy with a remote worker), or need contract work done, give me a job! http://cv.imcsoft.co.uk/[^]

Yes, or from the concise mirror f@#?ingtools.pallini.com[^] :-D
