The configuration still exists in memory somewhere, so you could extract it from a dump... whether you should want to do this is an entirely different question

- adrianmsmith 7y agoThat's not necessarily true I think. The program could read the config at startup, and create structures or objects inside its heap to represent the config. After that it would have no need for the actual bytes of the config.
- sokoloff 7y agoThose heap objects are the configuration. Not the configuration input file, but the configuration itself. It is then be a task to reverse engineer the coding file from the config data structures.
