.exe parsing

Question

Is it possible to extract source code from the the .exe file?

Answer 1

Not sure but you may try Jetbrain's dotPeek tool. It is free and extracts code from DLL. It may work with exe.

Answer 2

Yes, using Decompilers/Disassembler
use http://www.red-gate.com/products/dotnet-development/reflector/ to see source Code. http://www.denisbauer.com/Home/ReflectorFileDisassembler to convert it to VS solution

Answer 3

Have you taken a look at OllyDbg. It is a disassembler. You can view equvivalent assembly code and control realtime execution. You can also modify those asm codes and see the output.

It supports many useful features like breakpoints , string search , stack status , memory status etc.
