Original Abstract

Reverse engineering may bedefined as a process of analyzing a subject system to createrepresentation of the system at a higher level of abstraction.Reversing binary executables is typically done by the disassembler,but more complicated tool like decompiler can be utilized to get morereadable high-level code. Time and effort needed to analyze suchoutput is proportional to its quality. In this paper, we presentdescription of a retargetable decompiler that is being developedwithin the Lissom project at FIT BUT. First, we outline the basicdecompiler structure. Then overall design of data type reconstructionanalysis with focus on the simple type recovery algorithm isdescribed. In conclusion, we discuss experimental results and futureresearch.
