This sounds lees like reverse engineering and more like decompiling.

Watching to see if reverse engineering will pull anything reusable out!

What is there to reverse engineer? Isn't most of it open source?

Igglyboo • Feb 26, 2015 • View on HN

You're thinking of reverse engineering.

jrnkntl • Jun 6, 2010 • View on HN

That is some serious reverse engineering

It could be reverse-engineered.

This is reverse engineering. No one from there will (want) make this public.

taubek • May 12, 2022 • View on HN

There is a small part that talks about reverse engineering.

Interesting that reverse engineering is still somewhat shady.
