We’ve made it quick and convenient for you to manage your Inspection Services to anywhere. In this blog post we’ll share the knowledge about Metrology Product & Services.
In Reverse Engineering Services, an object is dismantled to see how it works to duplicate or improve it. This practice, derived from old industries, is now often used on computer hardware and software. Software reverse engineering means that the machine code of a program (the 0 and 1 series that is sent to the logic processor) is reversed in the source code in which it is written, using programming language instructions.
How Reverse Engineering Services works ?
Software reverse engineering services is performed to extract the source code of a program because it has been lost, to study the operation of certain program operations, to improve the performance of a program, to correct an error (correction of a error in the program when the source code is not available), to identify the harmful content in a program such as a virus or to modify a program that is designed to be used with a microprocessor for use with another. Reverse engineering to copy or duplicate programs may be in violation of copyright. In some cases, the licensed use of software specifically prohibits reverse engineering.
Someone who performs reverse engineering services on a software can use different tools to disassemble a program. One of the tools is a hexadecimal dumper, which prints or displays binary numbers of a program in hexadecimal format (which is easier to read than a binary format). By knowing the bit patterns representing the processor instructions and their length, reverse engineering services can identify parts of a program to see how they work. Disassembly is another frequently used tool. The disassembler reads the binary code and then displays each executable instruction as text. A disassembler can not see the difference between an executable statement and the data used by the program; a debugger is used, whereby the disassembly unit can avoid the disassembly of the data components of a program. A hacker can use these tools to modify the code and gain access to a computer system, or to cause other damage.
Another type of reverse engineering services involves producing 3-D images of manufactured parts when a blueprint is not available in order to remanufacture the part. To reverse engineer a part, the part is measured by a coordinate measuring machine (CMM).
