This paper describes methods and procedures used for code analysis and
transformation. It contains basic information of a science discipline called
reverse engineering and its use in information technologies. The primary
objective is a construction of tool that can disas-semble from binary form to
symbolic machine code. This operation is highly dependent on the concrete
instruction set, and it has to be used for a beforehand known processor
archi-tecture. This problem is solved with patterns, plug-ins, and modularity of
disassembler. These features provide users the ability to add new instruction
sets into this disassembler. The output is the text representation of
instructions and is functionally equivalent to the in-put. The thesis
demonstrates usual methods of disassembly as well as the methods made by the
author.
