While many people believe that reverse engineering started in the 18th century with the dawn of the factory system, this is not the case. In fact, reverse engineering has existed since the beginning when humans made things, such as wheels, carriages, and even architectural infrastructure.
Reverse-engineering is the act of dismantling an object to see how it works. It is done primarily to analyze and gain knowledge about the way something works but often is used to duplicate or enhance the object. Software reverse engineering (RE) is not a science but a skill set combined with specific knowledge and backed by a lot of experience. For several years, we have been sharing the RE knowledge that we accumulated in the form of training sessions provided to paying customers.
Advantages:
Reverse engineering allows manufacturers to improve their machines and processes, implementing innovations or new processes tailored for their specific use. It can also enable them to document how the efficiency, power, and even lifespan of equipment can be improved.
