Reverse engineering is the process of discovering the technological principles of a mechanical application through analyzing it's structure, function and operation. It often involves taking something and analyzing it's workings in detail, usually with the intention to construct a new program that does the same thing without actually copying anything from the original.
Software reverse engineering involves reversing a program's machine code back into the source code that it was written in, using program language statements. Software reverse engineering is done to retrieve the source code of a program because the source code was lost.
It helps to study how the program performs certain operations, to improve the programs performance. It also helps to fix, that is, to correct an error in the program when the source code is not available and to identify malicious content in a program.
Things are more difficult when the program once written by someone else has been modified and added so many times that the existing documentation no longer accurately reflects the program code and structure.
Over the years there have been a few great groups directed towards reverse engineering. They have come and gone, and new ones have risen up. A few stood out from the crowd, but always in time they took their place among the rest, except with their sites being mirrored and their knowledge they brought to the people stored for a time.
We approach to set up inexpensive and flexible laboratory environment using virtual workstation software and demonstrate the process of reverse engineering using a range of system monitoring tools in conjunction with a disassembler and a debugger.
To facilitate efficient, inexpensive, and reliable research process, reverse engineers of malicious software should have access to controlled laboratory environment that is flexible and unobtrusive. In our research, we have come to rely on virtual workstation software available from various sources.
We offer high quality code analysis and documentation software to our customers. These softwares helps our clients to analyze and generate a structured and well formatted documentation of a given program. The attractive and optimized output saves time and money by increasing the programming staff productivity and communication.
