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

Any ideas on where to go if I want to reverse engineer software?

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.
