= Reverse engineering
{wiki=Reverse_engineering}
Reverse engineering is the process of analyzing a product or system to understand its design, architecture, and functionality. This can involve deconstructing a physical object or a software application to discover how it works, often with the aim of reproducing or improving upon it. In software, reverse engineering can include inspecting code, data structures, and algorithms to gain insights into how a program operates, while in hardware, it might involve disassembling components to examine their physical properties and interconnections.
