Rec Studio 4 Downloads

 

		Rec Studio 4.1 for Windows XP/Vista/7		RecStudioWin.zip (best support - GUI+CLI - updated: September 19, 2015)
		Rec Studio 4.1 for Ubuntu Linux 11		RecStudioLinuz.tgz (good support - GUI+CLI - updated September 24, 2015)
		Rec Studio 4 for Mac OS X 10.6		RecStudioMac.tgz (weakest support - GUI+CLI - updated May 25, 2012)

Note: The command line versions (CLI) implement only the following usage:

    RecCLI binary_file result.c

The 'result.c' file is created in the directory '../output'.

 

These files include the executable, required run-time libraries, support files such as type definitions files for many Windows and Linux APIs etc.
Simply download and unzip the files in a directory of your choice. There is no installer, nothing is changed in your registry. The program RecStudio4 can be run from the extracted bin directory.

Refer to the how to use page for instructions on using the decompiler.

 

Change history

Rec Studio 2 Downloads

The old Rec Studio 2 is still available for download at the following links.

RecStudio for Windows 98 :	rec22.zip
REC 1.6 for Linux :	rec16lx.zip for Red Hat 7.1
REC 1.6 for Windows 95 :	rec16pc.zip
REC 1.6 for Solaris SPARC :	rec16sp.tar.Z (tar+compress)
REC 1.5f for Solaris i386 :	rec15fsi.taz (gzip+tar) rec15fsi.zip (zip format)
REC 1.5d for SunOS :	rec15ds4.taz (gzip+tar format)

(Files are from 120 to 500 kbyte. Each file contains the REC executable, prototype files for Linux and Windows, and a 386 example executable).

You can also download just the prototype files.

These files contain the types and function declarations for several system calls. When a prototype file is specified in the types: command of a .cmd file, or in the proto.lst file, REC will read the symbolic information from that file and use it to infer the number and type of local variables and function parameters.

Type files:

Linux + Windows type files (140k)	recsupp.zip or recsupp.taz (gzip+tar format)
Linux only type files (18k)	recsuppl.taz (gzip+tar format)
Windows only type files (120k)	recsuppw.zip

Due to copyright restrictions, the Windows prototype files are only available in binary form.

The MIPS disassembler source is also available.

From version 2.1, RecStudio uses the disassembler included in the Netwide Assembler package (version 0.98.39). The project to build the ia32 disassembler as a DLL is available here. No other portions of NASM are used in RecStudio. The Netwide Assembler can be downloaded from SourceForge.net.
At this time the other disassemblers are still statically linked in the RecStudio executable, although eventually they'll be made available as shared libraries.
