What is Diffractor?
Diffractor is an open-source decompiler for .NET assemblies. It can decompile EXE, DLL and other .NET file types into human-readable C#, Visual Basic .NET and IL code. Diffractor allows developers, testers, and anyone interested to easily view, analyze, and understand the contents of compiled .NET assemblies.
Some key features of Diffractor include:
- Decompiling EXE, DLL, and other .NET file types
- Generating readable C#, VB.NET, and IL code
- Support for decompiling assemblies targeting .NET Framework, .NET Core and other versions
- A clean and intuitive UI for browsing metadata and examining decompiled code
- Navigation tree showing the types and members declared in the assembly
- Syntax highlighting in the decompiled code viewer
- Finding usages of variables, methods and types across the assembly
- Support for renaming types and members
- Code comparison between original and modified assemblies
- Extensibility through plugins
As an open source alternative to Reflector and other decompilers, Diffractor provides excellent functionality for understanding and modifying .NET applications for free. Its simple interface makes inspecting .NET code accessible for developers, testers, analysts and others.
