AsmSrc

I recently had the opportunity to test out AsmSrc and was impressed with its capabilities. This software is designed to decode Linux executables and generate either assembler source or a patch file that can be further manipulated. One of the standout features of AsmSrc is its ability to detect library calls, symbols and other information found in ELF executable files.

The generated source file is in nasm format, which makes it easy to work with. Additionally, the AsmIDE programs do not need to be compiled first, which streamlines the development process. Installation is simple and can be done by typing "make install" as root.

Overall, I found the software to work seamlessly without any issues. However, there are some requirements that need to be met to ensure smooth operation. It's essential to have bash or sh available for the makefile, along with sed and GNU make for the installation and compilation phase. Additionally, nasm and asmpub (optional) need to be available for the AsmLib "make doc" option.

One of the newest additions to this release is a redesigned ELF decoder and changes in the handling of dynamic load files. These updates bring new functionalities to the software and make it a more efficient and useful tool.

In conclusion, if you are looking for a reliable software to decode Linux executables and generate assembler source or patch files, AsmSrc is definitely worth giving a try. With its streamlined installation process and comprehensive functionalities, it's a great tool to have in your arsenal.
