| Lua Version | Recommended Tool | Notes | |-------------|----------------|-------| | 5.1 (standard) | unluac (Java) | Most reliable. Works on stripped bytecode. | | 5.2 | luadec (C++) | Often requires recompilation from source. | | 5.3 | luadec (forked) | Less mature; many instructions fail. | | LuaJIT | luajit-decompiler (Python) or ravi | Extremely difficult; LuaJIT uses IR, not standard bytecode. | | Unknown/Encrypted | lua_decrypt / custom script | See Section 4. | Alternatively, use lua -v or tools like lua-version-detector
