You can disassemble programs like that? and see what’s inside? can you explain like I’m four and three quarters?

Yes. Assembly is barely abstracted from the actual machine instructions, to the point where the process of translating it is easily reversible. Reading assembly code is a thing all on it’s own, though. There’s specialised software available for this kind of reverse-engineering now, too, if you’re doing something more complicated than just looking for and cutting out a system call.
