Disassemblers
Disassemblers are tools used to look at the low-level code of a program compiled from either a high-level language, or of the same low-level language. As part of analysis, deadlisting and recognizing the blocks of code help to build up the behavior of the program. It is then be easier to identify only code blocks that need to be thoroughly debugged, without running through the whole program code:
IDA Pro:Â A popular tool used in the software security industry to disassemble various low-level language built on the x86 and ARM architectures. It has a wide list of features. It can generate a graphical flow of code, showing code blocks and branching. It also has scripting that can be used to parse through the code and disassemble it into more meaningful information. IDA Pro has an extended plugin, called Hex-Rays, that is capable of identifying assembly codes to its equivalent C source or syntax. The free version of IDA Pro can be downloaded from https://www.hex-rays.com/products...
