BACKGROUND
There is a heavily obfuscated online applet with encyption (referred to as applet), there is a program (referred to as program) that reads and modifies the online applet for hacking purposes far more obfuscated than the applet, and then there is me.
In a nutshell: applet's main class defines custom ClassLoader which decrypts a file in the jar then loads the classes. The jar file varies for certain IP ranges, but the patterns of bytecode remain similar. The hacking program modifies the ClassLoader and injects code (interfaces, methods, getters) so that it can read the data via "normal" Java (without reflection or fuzzy stuff) such as an interfaceInstance.getGameData();
Then me. I can decrpyt and deobfuscate the online applet, change the classes as they are loaded and get pieces of the game data. However, I don't have the time to map out the rest of the game data (I have approximately 70 out of 210). I've tried to and failed multiple times to inject my own code into the program, but I get some insane errors such as ClassCirculatoryError because of its heavy obfuscation and who-knows what else. My decision: hack the hacker's hack.
PROBLEM
Given that I have access to the modified java.lang.Class objects within the applet without the original bytecode, is there any way possible to revert it back to bytecode. No access to anything useful except the unmodified byte arrays, but I am looking at the injected methods and interfaces.
The only solution I came up with is to download the Sun JVM source code, have a method called dumpClasses() (in C++). In that method, it would go through all of the modified classes and methods and print out the byte data as it is, modified and all. Doing this however, would force me to familiarize myself with the JVM and the loading and execution of bytecode and the whole lot.
