I used to think this was a very much needed tool, but now I have a different opinion. Thank god reverse engineering isnt the easiest thing to do! Why else do we accually pay licenses for products like IonCube and Zend Encoder! They would be worthless if such software were available, not to think of the gaming industry. All software can be reimported back into the source, one way or another, but in most cases all code will be obfuscated and truly, darn hard to read. But as said, the logic is still there. I will say it like this : If its your own software your going after and have lost your backup / source code : Man, I wish you luck - your gonna need it! Good luck, Kist --------------------------------------------------------------- There are 10 types of people when it comes to binary numbers: those who understand them, and those who don't.
