Question

Is there any way to decompile Linux .so?

Answer 1

There are decompilers, but a decompiler might not emit code in the same language that the original program was written in.

There are also disassemblers, which will reassemble the machine code into assembly.

The Decompilation Wiki may be a good source of additional information.

Answer 2

You can disassemble the code with objdump(1) for example.
