Reverse Engineering
Cybersecurity
Reverse engineering is the process of analyzing a product, software, or system to understand its design, structure, or functionality without access to original specifications or source code. Software engineers and security researchers use it to disassemble binaries, decompile code, or study hardware in order to find vulnerabilities, ensure interoperability, or recreate lost documentation. It is common in cybersecurity, malware analysis, and legacy system maintenance.
