Abstract

The day-to-day increase in the number of cyber-criminal activities raises the demand for strengthening and refining our computer security systems. Reverse engineering plays a decisive role in upholding essential security standards. The method of reverse engineering was formerly applied to hardware, but currently, it is also being applied on software applications, databases and, even in the domain of natural sciences. In cybersecurity, reverse engineering enables the finding of the breach details attempted by the attacker. This additionally helps in the detection of bugs, vulnerabilities and loopholes present in the software application and thereby solidifying the security aspects of the application. This paper discusses the various application of reverse engineering in the field of cybersecurity, appropriate tools for its implementation and practical demonstration of reverse engineering a software application.
