Reverse engineering correct source code from a machine code to find and neutralize vulnerabilities is the most pressing problem for the field of telecommunications equipment. The decompilation techniques applicable for this have potentially reached their evolutionary limit. As a result, new concepts are required that can make a quantum leap in problem solving. Proceeding from this, the paper proposes the concept of genetic decompilation, which is a solution to the problem of multiparameter optimization in the form of iterative approximation of instances of the source code to the "original" one which will compile to the given machine code. This concept is tested by conducting a series of experiments with the developed software prototype using a basic example of machine code. The results of the experiments prove the proof of the concept, thereby suggesting new innovative directions for ensuring information security in this subject area.
