Ask HN: What are your reverse engineering skills?

2•alganet•6mo ago
Hi!

I was wondering what the reverse engineering skills of people here in HN are.

From simple things like trying to mess with systems you assume to be based on regular expression, to more elaborate ones, down to more increasingly advanced techniques.

I'm not particularly interested in bit shaving stuff like hex editors or things like that, but if you're proud of something in that regard feel free to share.

Prompt engineering is quite outside this question (it seems that AI folk see themselves apart from other areas, so it's really not relevant to more principled reverse engineering techniques).

I'm a bit unclear about what you mean by "reverse engineering". A significant portion of my career has involved reverse engineering software, in the sense of taking a binary and producing compilable source code that will generate that binary.

However, I sense that may not be what you're talking about here.

alganet•6mo ago
You're talking about decompiling. It's a specialization of reverse engineering.

I already gave a good example. Simplistic probe queries to detect if something uses regex are a very primitive technique of reverse engineering (re-constructing the regex that the system uses).

Makes sense?
