Rec Studio4.0 Beta

Building applications requires a solid programming knowledge, as well as a dedicated utility which can process lines of code into an interface understandable by the end user. However, another operation of great importance in programming is reverse engineering, and this is exactly what Rec Studio attempts to accomplish.

Support for multiple programming languages

The application's core function is to allow you to load executable file created with a diverse palette of programming languages. In theory this works like a charm, with the possibility to read Win32 executables, Visual C++, as well as Visual Basic 5, but the only output you can make use of and understand is that created using C.This is because the application still undergoes heavy upgrades so that in the end you can reverse engineer executable files created with a programming language you are more attached to. In case you still want to try your luck with something other than C generated files, you might need to use a command line in order to differentiate data from code.

Disassemble and analyze compiled code

After you load a file, its content is disassembled into all the application understands so you can trace down data or code needed for other projects. In addition, you can bring up several view types, such as the target or file map, symbols used, as well as type and call tree.What's more, you can gather further info with the help of dedicated commands you insert in a specific field. Project elements are also displayed and you are able to view them in a tree list to check binary files, artifacts and sources.

To sum it up

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that Rec Studio expects you to believe it's packed with a lot of potential and it is. However, some time needs to be spent with learning to use all there is to it, as well as a little patience until improvements make it truly a powerful and practical decompiler.
