Reverse Engineering Reverse Engineering: Reverse engineering (also known as backwards engineering or back engineering) is a process or method through the application of which one attempts to understand through deductive reasoning how a device, process, system, or piece of software accomplishes a task with very little (if any) insight into exactly how it does so. Reverse engineering is applicable in the fields of computer engineering, mechanical engineering, design, electronic engineering, software engineering, chemical engineering, and systems biology. Overview: There are many reasons for performing reverse engineering in various fields. Reverse engineering has its origins in the analysis of hardware for commercial or military advantage. 13  However, the reverse engineering process, as such, is not concerned with creating a copy or changing the artifact in some way. It is only an analysis to deduce design features from products with little or no additional knowledge about the procedure...
