Hi to all,

Is there any way that I can see the source code of an exe. I have a few of them and I just have to see the source of them.

Thank in advance to all who reply.

No. When it's compiled you have no way to know whether it was even a C or C++ program (well, you might be able to tell C++ if there's any symbols, but those are normally stripped out to stop reverse-engineering). You can only get the algorithm if you're an experienced ASM programmer and understand where the standard library sections begin/end so you can determine the actual code.

If you are expert at asm then there are lots of decompilers which convert the code to asm:D
