jht129 Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 My friend sent me a .exe file, made from batch (compiled from batch) and I would like to see what the code is made up of. I think its malicious cuz he's the hacker type... Does anyone have a .exe-->.bat decompiler? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 the safest way to test stuff like this is in a VM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparda Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 VM = Virtual Machine, basiclly an OS running inside another OS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jht129 Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share Posted January 26, 2007 oh, how would i do that, it sounds complicated. are there any programs to do this? one more question. if i boot in safe mode (XP Pro) and run the exe will it cause harm?

jht129 Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share Posted January 26, 2007 oh well that sucks, is VM the only way to have it not cause harm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Kitchen Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 oh well that sucks, is VM the only way to have it not cause harm yes. thankfully there are free virtual machine hosts available, for example the MS Virtual PC as linked above. we talk about using these for what's considered "sandboxing" in episode 5.5 i believe.
