Reversing software code is often perceived as a shady activity or straight-up hacking. But in fact, you can use reverse engineering ethically to research commercially available products, enhance ...

WHEN MOST PEOPLE think of reverse engineering, they probably have thoughts of disassembling some high-tech component or software code and learning what makes it tick, and then creating knock-offs for ...

ANT+ is a wireless protocol specifically designed for use with sensors, and has similar functionality in some respects to Bluetooth Low Energy. It’s found a place among various bicycle equipment ...

Yesterday we reported that Lattice Semiconductor had inserted a clause that restricted the reverse engineering of bitstreams produced by their FPGA toolchains. Although not explicitly stated, it’s ...

For years, I interviewed extreme high achievers such as Nobel laureates, astronauts, and Olympic champions to figure out what made them successful. I then reverse-engineered their path to success and ...

A system that uses a technique called constructive solid geometry (CSG) is allowing MIT researchers to deconstruct objects and turn them into 3D models, thereby allowing them to reverse-engineer ...
