Hi everyone, I'm the creator of Malimite. I actually released this as part of a conference talk at Objective By the Sea, which you can see here: https://youtu.be/vWdKjVCZtTI It gives a good overview of the development process as well as my motivations for creating it. The tool will also be on homebrew shortly :)

Hi, is there any hope of getting Malimite to decompile libs from the Dyld cache?

Figuring out how an API works is one of the most important RE use cases, at least on Mac OS, where private APIs are still somewhat usable.

Who would have guessed just a few years ago that the final programming language would be English.

The last trump has not sounded just yet. The day of judgement is still not quite at hand. It is - for now - still all to play for.

Isn't decompiling illegal in the US?

But is it illegal to provide tools for decompilation? As in shooting people is illegal, but selling guns is not.

Shooting people is not illegal in the US -- I'm not sure this is the best analogy or there will be huge limitations when discussing decompilation efforts.

Plenty of people are shot or killed lawfully with firearms.
