The Tupolev Tu-4, a Soviet bomber built by reverse engineering captured Boeing B-29 Superfortresses. Reverse engineering (also known as backwards engineering or back engineering) is a process or method through which one attempts to understand through deductive reasoning how a previously made device, process, system, or piece of software accomplishes a task with very little (if any) insight ...

For example, reverse engineering a circuit assembly reveals whether or not the fabricator has exactly matched the design specifications of the board. The process can be used to inspect for counterfeit or malicious circuits embedded in a PCB, or, if a new product has been purchased by a company, to create schematics or other documentation that ...
The term, reverse engineering, has become specifically and almost exclusively linked to the field of software engineering; [5] [6] whereas, deformulation is a term more applicable to the field of chemical manufacturing. Deformulation of a multicomponent chemical mixture may occur in several contexts, including the investigation of causes of ...
Decompilation is the process of transforming executable code into a high-level, human-readable format using a decompiler.This process is commonly used for tasks that involve reverse-engineering the logic behind executable code, such as recovering lost or unavailable source code.
In the first season of the 2014 TV show Halt and Catch Fire, a key plot point from the second episode is how the fictional Cardiff Electric computer company placed an engineer in a clean room to reverse engineer a BIOS for its PC clone, to provide cover and protection from IBM lawsuits for a previous probably-illegal hacking of the BIOS code others at the company had performed.
AI-assisted reverse engineering (AIARE) is a branch of computer science that leverages artificial intelligence (AI), notably machine learning (ML) strategies, to augment and automate the process of reverse engineering. The latter involves breaking down a product, system, or process to comprehend its structure, design, and functionality.
A disassembler is a computer program that translates machine language into assembly language—the inverse operation to that of an assembler.The output of disassembly is typically formatted for human-readability rather than for input to an assembler, making disassemblers primarily a reverse-engineering tool.
