The difference between reverse engineering and conventional scientific research is that with reverse engineering the artifact being investigated is man-made,unlike scientific research where it is a natural phenomenon. Reverse engineering is usually conducted to obtain missing knowledge, ideas, and design philosophy when such information is unavailable. In some cases, the information is owned by someone who isn’t willing to share them.In other cases, the information has been lost or destroyed.Traditionally, reverse engineering has been about taking shrink-wrapp...
