reverse engineer

[Cardale]

Are there any programs for reverse engineering in ubuntu or linux I can use? Resource hackers? Memory sniffers?

Number One: The subject is illegal in some countries, so we shouldn't talk about it here if we want to avoid a TOS violation.

Number Two: In the F/OSS world, one shouldn't have a need for this activity because the 'source' is usually available.

That said, check out these:

There is also things like this:

so, keep searching for interesting and educational tools:

http://sourceforge.net/

It never hurts to understand how it all fits together.

IDA works well in Crossover on OS X, so I'd imagine it works pretty well in Wine.

among having reverse engineering tools, Backtrack is a great tool for any type of computer auditing. I suggest you to check it out. if anything look at the list of programs.

for java, get the jdk.

sun java comes with: jmap, jstack, jstat - very powerful tools.
bea jrockit comes with: jrcmd (replaces all the above), jra, jrcmd
not sure what ibm has for their jdk.

look up jad for compiled java code ;)

regular processes:
dtrace (linux), strace (solaris)
