Software reverse engineering and PCB reverse engineering have similarities under the large definition of reverse engineering, but the difference between Software Reverse Engineering to PCB Reverse Engineering is obvious in the specific operation process.
Software reverse engineering is to restore the software program (object code or source code) in the implementation phase to the software concept in the design phase. It is an extraction process from external expression to internal thought.
The PCB Board reverse engineering process is from the physical product to the PCB layout design. The difference between the two is obvious:
In addition, the implementation of reverse engineering is different. The traditional reverse engineering implementation process is basically fixed, the technical tools used are relatively simple, and the software reverse engineering implementation methods are various, including protocol inverse engineering, disassembly, etc., users can choose the way to achieve reverse engineering purpose according to the technical effect they want to achieve.
