What is Reverse Engineering?

"Reverse Engineering as the name implies is a method to reverse architecture or code of a hardware and application respectively in order to build a new product to possess it."

Reverse Engineering as the name implies is a kind of Engineering but contrary to real Engineering is a methodology used by hackers to possess someone else product architecture or code. In reverse engineering, which is used by hackers or the rival companies to find out the way or process in which the actual product was created or introduced, a team of professional programmers or hardware engineers analyses a product by directly buying it from market or by getting things on the Internet to get the code of a particular software or to get the hardware design of a part accordingly by applying reverse engineering on it, in order to create a new one product and apply own copyright on it.

In Engineering you code for a software but it is done reversely in reverse engineering to get the code of that software which is completely illegal. Same thing is done with hardware. A lot of tools are also available for software in order to reversely engineered a product.

So we have learned now, What is Reverse Engineering? And what are the consequences of Reverse Engineering ,if you don't know about such things you're product can be hacked, guess it on your own, so keep learning from computerflicks. Please leave comments.
