Software Reverse Engineering
Abstract. Software reverse engineering (SRE) is the practice of analyzing a software system, either in whole or in part, to extract design and implementation information. A typical SRE scenario would involve a software module that has worked for years and carries several rules of a business in its lines of code; unfortunately the source code of ...
Computer-Aided Reverse Engineering of Protected Software
Many research papers showed that obfuscations, and software protection techniques, in general, increase the attack time by using empirical human studies [4, ... Reverse engineering a software application is inherently challenging and requires expertise, time, and patience. Even more so if the code to analyze is protected.

Software reverse engineering Research Papers
Reverse engineering is one of these approaches that provide a better understanding of an existing system by maintainers and developers, especially when faced by a large and evolving legacy system. This study proposes a framework for systems re-documentation based on reverse engineering approach.
PDF Trends in Software Reverse Engineering
The polymorphic domain of software reverse engineer-ing varies since 90s due to multiple reasons. Some of the primary reasons include the acceptance of new program-ming languages, underlying technique of reverse engineer-ing and the desired output notation of the reverse engineer-ing that varies with evolution of software. The purpose of
Hardware Reverse Engineering: Overview and Open Challenges
engineering [10], [11], reverse engineering is still an opaque and poorly understood process. The question is not whether analysts are able to reverse engineer a given design, since with sufficient resources reverse engineering will always succeed. Rather, the fundamental research question is: "How time-consuming and, thus, costly is the reverse
