Reverse Engineering : Convert class or jar to Java files

Previously, we have seen how to extract contents of .img file and also how to convert dex files to classes/jar.
In this post, I'm going to show a method to covert class/classes/jar file to java file(s).
To do so, we are going to use a tool, JD-GUI. It is a Java Decompiler, which supports all versions of Java, including java-7.
Download the application from here, and extract it to a proper location.
Now, open the terminal (in case of Linux) and run the following command:

./jd-gui

It will open the GUI window of Java decompiler.

Just drag-and-drop a class/jar file into this window. In the left panel, we can find the corresponding java files, arranged in proper package format.
To save a single file, select it and choose "Save Source" from the top menu. And to save entire package, choose "Save all sources".

Troubleshooting:
You may ran into one of these problems, while trying to open jd-gui. Install the packages specified accordingly.
Error 1:

./jd-gui: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Solution:

sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-0:i386

Error 2:

./jd-gui: error while loading shared libraries: libXxf86vm.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Solution:

sudo apt-get install libxxf86vm1:i386

Error 3:

./jd-gui: error while loading shared libraries: libSM.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Solution:

sudo apt-get install libsm6:i386

Error 4:

/jd-gui: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Solution:

sudo apt-get install lib32stdc++6

Ubuntu: Access a usb flash drive from the terminal

1. Find what the drive is called You'll need to know what the drive is called to mount it. To do that fire off: sudo fdisk -l You're looking for a partition that should look something like: /dev/sdb1 . Remember what it's called. 2. Create a mount point Create a new directory in /media so you can mount the drive onto the filesystem: sudo mkdir /media/usb 3. Mount! sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/usb When you're done, just fire off: sudo umount /media/usb Source: StackOverflow

Java: Use BigInteger in for-loop

In my previous post , I mentioned a way to handle large integers by using BigInteger. Now I'm going to provide a very important usage of it. We often use for-loop. So here is the way to use it: Ordinary integers: for(int i = 1; i <= n; i++) { //Task to do } BigInteger: for (BigInteger bi = BigInteger.valueOf(1); bi.compareTo(n) <= 0; bi = bi.add(BigInteger.ONE)) { //Task to do } here n is a BigInteger variable.

Karabiner: Mouse/keyboard customizer for OS X

For beginners, or the one who migrated from Windows environment, Natural Gestures (Scrolling and Swiping) might be bit confusing. But, once you get familiarized with them, it may feel like "What was I doing, all those days?". It all changed, when I connected external mouse to my Macbook. When you start using that WHEEL, you will be confused. Luckily there is a setting for mouse, to change scroll behavior (natural or the other way). But, here's the catch. If you toggle that setting, it also toggles the same for TRACKPAD!!!!! I've seen that many people were freaked out and even raised BUG report to Apple. But, all those reports were closed, saying that is not a bug, but intentional feature!!! For those, who can't leave with such one-sided settings, here is a simple util, which came to my rescue: Karabiner It's simple, powerful and stable mouse/keyboard customizer for OSX. Without going into much detail, here's the configuration I used to ret
