An Open-Source Machine-Code Decompiler

Explore an open-source machine-code decompiler called RetDec in this conference talk from Recon 2018 Montreal. Learn about the development of RetDec by Avast Software and its recent open-source release under the MIT license. Discover the primary goal of decompiling malicious binary applications and other applications such as initial sample assessment, pattern matching, disassembly, control flow extraction, and translation into intermediate representation. Watch demonstrations of both decompilation and other reverse engineering applications using real-world examples. Gain insights from Marek Milkovič, a software engineer at Avast focusing on the preprocessing stage of RetDec and YARA-related tools, and Peter Matula, a senior software developer and main developer of RetDec, as they share their expertise in C++, reverse engineering, and compilers.
