Reversing software code is often perceived as a shady activity or straight-up hacking. But in fact, you can use reverse engineering ethically to research commercially available products, enhance ...

I am the founder and CEO of Apriorit, a software development company that provides engineering services globally to tech companies. As the leader of a software engineering company, I know how a ...

The ease at which criminals can reverse engineer software makes for lucrative transgressions with national security implications, prompting government-backed researchers to seek innovations to shore ...

In this excerpt, from Chapter 3 of their new book Exploiting Software, authors Greg Hoglund and Gary McGraw explain the concepts and methods of reverse engineering and the tools that can be used to ...

Researchers with a DARPA-led team are looking into new ways to combat reverse engineering by using obfuscation to tidy up shoddy commercial and government security. Researchers with a DARPA-led team ...

3D scanners and reverse-engineering software make short work of redesigning enclosures and internal parts for complex products. Manufacturers must often reverse engineer existing products to improve ...

Software reverse engineering, the art of pulling programs apart to figure out how they work, is what makes it possible for sophisticated hackers to scour code for exploitable bugs. It's also what ...

Yesterday we reported that Lattice Semiconductor had inserted a clause that restricted the reverse engineering of bitstreams produced by their FPGA toolchains. Although not explicitly stated, it’s ...
