REC is a portable reverse engineering compiler, or decompiler.

It reads an executable file, and attempts to produce a C-like representation of the code and data used to build the executable file.
It is portable because it has been designed to read files produced for many different targets, and it has been compiled on several host systems.


IVe been using this tool for a bit.. its not perfect or anything, and hangs when using some options.. but the output is pretty decent and it does a 'not-so-bad' job converting disassembly to a pseudo-like C... (more complex routines id recommend you use IDA, your brain and skills though) but none-the-less.. something that could be improved upon.

I've tried it before... seems like a good start but sadly it doesn't get updated anymore nor is it open-source... crashes on most programs I've tried.

There is another partially finished decompiler called ExeToC, it's less complete than REC but open-source
