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

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. When Windows asks if you want to format it, cancel and run Image Writer again. If the problem persists, disable your anti-virus software, it may be blocking raw write to the drive. Another Image Writer for Windows, if SUSE doesn't work https://launchpad.net/win32-image-writer/+download 2 - Boot the USB drive and install. If you need, type  boot options , for example: -v (verbose boot) [default] -x (safe) -s (single user) GraphicsEnabler=yes (enable graphics card drivers) [default] USBBusFix=yes (fix problems with USB devices) npci=0x2000 (use if boot stops at "PCI configuration begin") cpus=1 If you need, use  TransMac  to remove kexts which are causing problems (System/Library/Extensions) and use the flag -f (ignore caches) at boot, or remove /System/Libra...

Java: Use BigInteger in for-loop

In my previous post , I mentioned a way to handle large integers by using BigInteger. Now I'm going to provide a very important usage of it. We often use for-loop. So here is the way to use it: Ordinary integers: for(int i = 1; i <= n; i++) {  //Task to do } BigInteger: for (BigInteger bi = BigInteger.valueOf(1);                 bi.compareTo(n) <= 0;                 bi = bi.add(BigInteger.ONE)) { //Task to do } here n is a BigInteger variable.

JavaScript - Singleton Pattern

The singleton design pattern is probably the simplest and most common pattern in JavaScript. So why should you use the singleton pattern? Encapsulation of members & functions Creates its own Namespace A singleton is a single instance object Encourages code reuse Improves readability because you can logically organise your code The point of a singleton is to only have one instance. A shopping cart is a good example of something that you may want only a single instance of at one time. The simplest form of Singleton is an object literal. This loose form of Singleton cannot be instantiated. All of the members are now accessible through the Singleton variable, accessible through dot notation. var myCart = {     self: this ,     totalCost: 0,     totalQty: 0,     cart: {},     getCart: function (){ },     updateCart: function (){ } }; alert( "Total cost: ...
