VB 6.0 DeCompiler

[Ober]

Is there a DeCompiler out for VB6 and 5????

I heard there was anyone have anything other than Rumors?

If so...how safe is my code?

There are (as far as I know) no de-compilers.
Your code will be safe anyway... If some-one wants to hack it they'd do it anyway. This usually only happens on very-commercial products wich is being used by the whole world...(Microsoft's stuff, Norton's stuff, Adobe's stuff etc...)

Well decompiler exist for C/C++. I havent looked into VB decompilers but I would guess they exist unless VB code is more complex or no one ever wanted to make a VB decompiler because version changed too fast where C++ is relatively stable.

Truth is, the bigger your program is, the safer it is IMHO. When you decompile, all the variable name are lost so you get all sort of weid variable name like : a, b, c, d, e etc etc. Not very intuitive you know, same goes for the function names. You have to go through all of them and find out what they do. Now good decompiler offer 3d diagrams or such that show the connection between the functions and such to help sort it out but it's still pretty near impossible with a large program unless you want to make it your full time job.
