Which language is hardest to decompile?

C# basically requires obfuscation.

  • C++ is much harder to decompile, but obfuscation support is lacking.
  • No matter which one you choose, it is always possible to crack. All you can do is slow it down or make it undesirable to crack due to the amount of time required.

    • Which is the most tough programming language?

    Malbolge. Malbolge was invented in 1998 by Ben Olmstead. This esolang is considered to be the most complicated programming language. It is said that the author of the Malbolge programming language never wrote any program using the language.

    Is Java easy to decompile?

    Java is relatively easy to decompile back into legal Java code and with the abundance of programs capable of doing so it should definitely be a deciding factor whether to make use of Java for desktop applications.

    How hard is it to decompile code?

    In general it is impossible, the original source is absolutely impossible, in rare cases where no optimizer was used and the code was so trivial that you dont need to bother going back to C, then you could reconstruct something that is functionally the same.

    Why is .NET so easy to decompile?

    The higher level the bytecode works at, the easier reverse engineering is, generally speaking. C# and IL nearly map one-to-one. (This is less so with some newer C# 3.0 features.) The closeness of the mapping (and the lack of an optimizer in the C# compiler) makes things so ‘reversible’.

    Can C++ be decompiled?

    Yes, but none of them will manage to produce readable enough code to worth the effort. You will spend more time trying to read the decompiled source with assembler blocks inside, than rewriting your old app from scratch. I haven’t seen any decompilers that generate C++ code.

    Why Java can be decompiled?

    2 Answers. Because Java byte-code is closer (more similar) to the source than assembly. In particular, . class files include metadata for classnames, method names, field & parameter types, etc…

    Is decompiling illegal?

    Decompiling is absolutely LEGAL, regardless of what the shills say. At most, you can be sued for unauthorized activity relating to software unless you’re redistributing it.

    Does Ghidra have a decompiler?

    Ghidra is seen by many security researchers as a competitor to IDA Pro. The software is written in Java using the Swing framework for the GUI. The decompiler component is written in C++. Ghidra plugins can be developed in Java or in Python (provided via Jython).
