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 ...
Ghidra (pronounced GEE-druh; [3] / ˈ ɡ iː d r ə / [4]) is a free and open source reverse engineering tool developed by the National Security Agency (NSA) of the United States. The binaries were released at RSA Conference in March 2019; the sources were published one month later on GitHub. [5]
IDA is used widely in software reverse engineering, including for malware analysis [6] [7] and software vulnerability research. [8] [9] IDA's decompiler is one of the most popular and widely used decompilation frameworks, [10] [11] [12] and IDA has been called the "de-facto industry standard" for program disassembly and static binary analysis ...
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.
Radare2 (also known as r2) is a complete framework for reverse-engineering and analyzing binaries; composed of a set of small utilities that can be used together or independently from the command line.
Rigi is an interactive graph editor tool for software reverse engineering using the white box method, i.e. necessitating source code, [1] [2]: 88 thus it is mainly aimed at program comprehension. [3]: 99 Rigi is distributed by its main author, Hausi A. Müller and the Rigi research group at the University of Victoria. [4]: 143
Some software developers may obfuscate, pack, or encrypt parts of their executable programs, making the decompiled code much harder to interpret. These techniques are often done to deter reverse-engineering, making the process more difficult and time-intensive.
