An attacker discovers the structure, function, and composition of an
						object, resource, or system by using a variety of analysis techniques to
						effectively determine how the analyzed entity was constructed or operates.
						The goal of reverse engineering is often to duplicate the function, or a
						part of the function, of an object in order to duplicate or "back engineer"
						some aspect of its functioning. Reverse engineering techniques can be
						applied to mechanical objects, electronic devices or components, or to
						software, although the methodology and techniques involved in each type of
						analysis differ widely.
