Viber adds end-to-end encryption

To reverse engineer code? For big projects, I used IDA, like everyone else does. For smaller projects, I used Hopper, or, for architectures that IDA and Hopper didn't support, I'd postprocess binutils output.

For an example of a more sophisticated approach, look at:

Remember, in this case, it's especially easy to reverse, because you have the source code; all you're doing is matching the control flow graph to the original source.

Thanks for making this response. Genuinely interested.

Do you know if there exist tools that take a binary and a source code file and attempt to automatically compare the control flow graphs?

I imagine I won't ever get to it, but that sounds like an interesting problem to try to work on.

Yes, there are. SourceDNA does a bunch of this.
