Description: Article on decompilers, their pros and cons, and how to protect source code against snooping eyes.
Software that examines software to the public, he (or she) normally releases a compiled version of the application, that users can run on their own machine. Whether it is a commercial offering, or a free piece of software, the programmer has put a considerable amount of time and effort into producing it. The source code behind software is something private, that the programmer has created. Programmers don't want people looking for flaws in their software, and they don't want people to change the title of the software and then redistribute it as someone else's product. It is for this reason that programmers don't often release their source code - but few realize that every time you release compiled software, you are also giving people the opportunity to reconstruct the source code!
