What is Reverse Engineering Fundamentals?
Reverse engineering is the process of dissecting a system, piece of hardware, or software program to understand its design, function, and operation without having access to the source code or blueprints. It involves analyzing the object's structure, components, and behavior to deduce how it was created and how it works. Essentially, it's like taking something apart to figure out how it was put together.
