Comment (by pulkomandy):
It is not exactly trivial (what about having a look before you assume it
is?)
The sourcecode is not stored as plaintext in the ELF file (as
{{{strings}}} finds). However, there is the list of yab keywords and I
suspect there is a tokenized version of the source. So, it could be
possible to extract that, and then rebuild the source by parsing the
tokens. The extraction shouldn't be too hard:
{{{
objdump -wx program | grep myProg
# Get the start address and the size
# Compute the stop address (start + size) and ask objdump to dump the
area:
objdump -sw BeShare_Info --start-address=0x013280 --stop-
address=0x13BC5|less
}}}
This will get you an hex dump of the tokenized program. Then, you would
need to convert it back to binary, then de-tokenize this (I'm not sure if
yab provide a tool for that, but it should be possible to write one).
