A software tool that converts compiled code back into human-readable source code or assembly language.
From decompile + -er (agent noun suffix). A decompiler does the reverse of what a compiler does.
Professional decompilers like IDA Pro or Ghidra are used by both security researchers to find bugs and reverse-engineers to understand legacy software when source code is lost.
