After a program has been thrown into the world in binary form, it can boomerang back as source code. The Boomerang reverse engineering framework is the first general native executable decompiler available to the public.

    I tried to load a 300kb MickeyMouse 32-bit windows executable using the prebuilt Boomerang Windows version but direct loading fails with: Could not open dynamic loader library ExeBinaryFile.dll (error #126) unrecognised binary file format. failed. (according to an old discussion entry that I found later, the Windows version does not seem to support old 16-bit executables and that should NOT be the issue here) Unfortunately this error not even shows in the boomerang-UI which just doesn't seem to do anything when trying to load the same file - which makes for a rotten user experience! I also tried to use the prebuilt 32-bit version on my 64-bit Linux and after adding i386 support I got the commandline "boomerang" to run - only to find that it doesn't know how to load my test file either ("Error - NE format executable"). PS: since Boomerang has not been updated in years it seems to be a total waste of time anyway :-(

    Most of the SVN repositories I tried had any files in them. The page boomerang.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/boomerang/ http Root: boomerang.sourceforge.net From the website SVN page: svn.php svn co "https""://"boomerang.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/boomerang/trunk/boomerang my-directory-name Failed. Using the TortoiseSVN SVN Checkout... on boomerang.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/boomerang/failed. However, clicking on the "code" link did work. Please update svn.php with corrected SVN information.
