Abstract
A method for disassembling an executable binary (binary). In one implementation, a plurality of potential address references may be identified based on the binary and a plurality of storage addresses containing the binary. A plurality of assembler source code instructions (instructions) may be generated by disassembling the binary. The binary may be disassembled at one or more sequential addresses starting at each of the plurality of potential address references.
