Nearly 10 years ago, I made a blog post in reference to studies about DMB files. Months before Slurm and Hobnob have successfully unleashed their decompilers (not to the general public of course). April 11th, 2007 was when I cracked strings for the first time.
It was the era of reverse engineering on BYOND. :P
Ironically, tools like the DMB String Extractor had led to fixes to bugs left undetected without such tools
Since that time, we have had quite some reverse engineers. They know who they are. :P

Hiead
 |
God you make me feel old, man.
|
Whoo, old people unite!
| |
I remember reverse compilers, but just allowing people to access icon files. That's kind of scary that they also could tackle code files...
| |
Those aren't "reverse compilers", they're just resource extractors, decompilers are vastly different things.

Yep, definitely different as Nadrew stated. Resource files often contain icons, audio files, and anything else either compiled in or within the cache (the latter is usually encrypted to a certain amount these days).
And yes, could say it is time to unite the old people! :P | |
