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

Mac Yosemite : Ugly turned out to be Uglier and Ugliest

You might have read my review on Mac OSX Yosemite , The Good, bad and ugly. Now it turned out to be UGLIEST. No more words. Here's the image. If you are on Yosemite, you might be familiar with it. Most of the times, you get stuck on boot logo. I've seen complaints regarding it saying that fellow members are ignorant of it and they deny such possibility, even though many are still facing it. Workarounds suggested by our online friends: Just reboot your mac as many times it takes to your desktop. Boot into safe mode, by holding SHIFT and then reboot. Comment your workaround below, mine is the first one. If you are still on Mavericks, be there till Apple provides a fix for this.

Reverse Engineering : Android Dex files to Class files

In my previous post, we have seen how to extract the contents of img file . After extraction, you will find that most of the files have ".dex" extension. These are Compiled Android application code files. In order to convert them into executable format (.class or .jar), you can use dex2jar tool. Extract it to a proper location and open the terminal to this location. Now run the following command: ./d2j-dex2jar.sh <Path-to-dex_file> It will bundle the dex files into a jar file, and stores it in the current directory. dex2jar can also be used to convert dex files into variuos other formats. For detailed info, click here .
