#132679 - Two more cents
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Erik said:
a disassembler is just about the most worthless tool there is. I have tried it twice and both times found it 10 times more efficient just to code from scratch.

It kind of depends on what you are trying to do. If you have a binary image that you need to understand and absolutely no clue what it does, running it through a disassembler is at least a good first step (especially if you get lucky and find that the code was writtten in assembly language in the first place).
