What’s more difficult to reverse engineering: Application or jar containing Applet?
I know it’s easy to reach the source code of a java application but is that possible for a
jar containing applet like this one in this html?
<HTML>
<HEAD>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<H3><HR WIDTH="100%">Applet HTML Page<HR WIDTH="100%"></H3>
<P>
<applet code = 'poster'
archive = 'poster.jar',
width = 100%,
height = 700/>
</P>
<HR WIDTH="100%">
</BODY>
</HTML>
There is no difference, you can download poster.jar, by pointing your browser to the URL of the web page, without the final file name and adding poster.jar to it.
Alternatively, you can use firebug, go in the Net view, find poster.jar, right click on it and choose “Copy Location”, then paste it in a new tab.
Once downloaded you can examine it.
