Reverse Engineering : Convert class or jar to Java files

Reverse Engineering : Convert class or jar to Java files
Previously, we have seen how to extract contents of .img file and also how to convert dex files to classes/jar.
In this post, I'm going to show a method to covert class/classes/jar file to java file(s).
To do so, we are going to use a tool, JD-GUI. It is a Java Decompiler, which supports all versions of Java, including java-7.
Download the application from here, and extract it to a proper location.
Now, open the terminal (in case of Linux) and run the following command:
./jd-gui
It will open the GUI window of Java decompiler.

Reverse Engineering : Convert class or jar to Java files

Just drag-and-drop a class/jar file into this window. In the left panel, we can find the corresponding java files, arranged in proper package format.
To save a single file, select it and choose "Save Source" from the top menu. And to save entire package, choose "Save all sources".

Troubleshooting:
You may ran into one of these problems, while trying to open jd-gui. Install the packages specified accordingly.
Error 1:
./jd-gui: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Solution:
sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-0:i386
Error 2:
./jd-gui: error while loading shared libraries: libXxf86vm.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Solution:
sudo apt-get install libxxf86vm1:i386
Error 3:
./jd-gui: error while loading shared libraries: libSM.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Solution:
sudo apt-get install libsm6:i386
Error 4:
/jd-gui: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Solution:
sudo apt-get install lib32stdc++6

Karabiner: Mouse/keyboard customizer for OS X

For beginners, or the one who migrated from Windows environment, Natural Gestures (Scrolling and Swiping) might be bit confusing. But, once you get familiarized with them, it may feel like "What was I doing, all those days?". It all changed, when I connected external mouse to my Macbook. When you start using that WHEEL, you will be confused. Luckily there is a setting for mouse, to change scroll behavior (natural or the other way). But, here's the catch. If you toggle that setting, it also toggles the same for TRACKPAD!!!!! I've seen that many people were freaked out and even raised BUG report to Apple. But, all those reports were closed, saying that is not a bug, but intentional feature!!! For those, who can't leave with such one-sided settings, here is a simple util, which came to my rescue: Karabiner It's simple, powerful and stable mouse/keyboard customizer for OSX. Without going into much detail, here's the configuration I used to ret...

OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion bootable USB (without MAC)

Download the raw file from here . How to use: 1 - Copy the .raw file to an USB stick using  SUSE Studio Image Writer . If you have error during copy, eject and re-connect the pen drive.

USB port not working on Mac

Recently I connected  an external hard-disk   to my new MacBook and observed that it was not properly detected on one of the USB ports. But I can see that it is powering my HDD. I tried switching to other port and it worked. I simply ignored it by thinking that my HDD cable might be loose. Now I bought a new USB drive and to get it detected, I have to insert and detach it multiple times. And as usual, I suspected the new USB drive, as my Mac is brand new. And planned to replace my USB drive. Now my HDD came back to   my mind. And also my earlier laptop, in which few KEYS went unresponsive due to accumulated charges. By little researching I found that I'm not alone. The solution that worked for me was "Resetting SMC" Here is the procedure I followed: Shut down the Mac and connect the power cable Hold down Shift+Control+Option+Power concurrently for a few seconds. When the light on the power adapter blinks or changes colors you’ll know SMC r...
