protodec

A tool to decompile protobuf classes compiled by protoc, from CIL assemblies back into .proto definitions.

Usage

Usage: [arguments...] [options...] [-h|--help] [--version]

Arguments:
  [0] <string>    Either the path to the target assembly or a directory of assemblies, all of which be parsed.
  [1] <string>    An existing directory to output into individual files, otherwise output to a single file.

Options:
  --skip-enums                                                  Skip parsing enums and replace references to them with int32. (Optional)
  --include-properties-without-non-user-code-attribute          Includes properties that aren't decorated with `DebuggerNonUserCode` when parsing. (Optional)
  --include-service-methods-without-generated-code-attribute    Includes methods that aren't decorated with `GeneratedCode("grpc_csharp_plugin")` when parsing gRPC services. (Optional)
  --parse-service-servers                                       Parses gRPC service definitions from server classes. (Optional)
  --parse-service-clients                                       Parses gRPC service definitions from client classes. (Optional)
  --log-level <LogLevel>                                        Logging severity level. (Default: Information)

Limitations

  • Integers are assumed to be (u)int32/64 as CIL doesn't differentiate between them and sint32/64 and (s)fixed32/64.
  • Package names are not preserved in protobuf compilation so naturally we cannot recover them during decompilation, which may result in naming conflicts.
  • When decompiling from Il2CppDumper DummyDLLs
    • The Name parameter of OriginalNameAttribute is not dumped. In this case, the CIL enum field names are used after conforming them to protobuf conventions
