Developed by the NSA, this is a powerful, free suite that includes a "decompiler" which attempts to turn Assembly into readable C code.
This research highlights a significant blind spot in static analysis. As software protection mechanisms (and malware authors) move towards "Just-In-Time" (JIT) decryption and memory-only execution, the definition of "decompilation" must evolve from static binary analysis to dynamic memory reconstruction.
