What does reverse engineering mean? Our expert reverse engineering services uncover the inner workings and structure of your hardware or software. WAUW can assist you with integrating undocumented file formats and APIs, recreating documentation for legacy code, and finding suitable technologies for your product. All this will help you gain insights into intricate systems, enabling you to make informed decisions, detect possible project constraints, and optimize your software development and compatibility efforts.

How does reverse engineering work in our case? At WAUW, we start with a thorough analysis of the project’s feasibility and legal considerations. We assess the amount and complexity of code to be reversed. We also check the availability of tools to work with the architecture the code is built for, or we develop such tools ourselves. Once we have a comprehensive understanding of the project, we create a research plan and provide initial estimates. WAUW dedicated reverse engineers develop a Proof of Concept to demonstrate the effectiveness of the reverse engineered code. Finally, we refine the code, conduct thorough testing, and provide comprehensive documentation along with the source code to the client.

Reversing can bring valuable benefits to almost any project at any stage of its development. Our experience shows that applying reverse engineering to analyze the capabilities of domain-specific projects is extremely beneficial, as it speeds up research and helps the developers to draw up a list of must-have features. You can apply reverse engineering to find suitable technologies for your product and even for creating a reliable product architecture. Some customers also request reverse engineering to ensure a smooth third-party integration or to develop new features for legacy software that they’ve used for years.

At WAUW, we understand that each research task is unique, so our experts carefully select the appropriate tools and methodologies and formulate a preliminary plan with hypotheses to test and data to gather. As a result of our outsourced reverse engineering software services, you will get a research report that includes: Task and subtask formalization A description of investigated approaches, tested hypotheses, and tools and technologies used for research Research results, including function interfaces, data format descriptions, and other project-specific details Working prototypes around research results upon your request To ensure the transparency and convenience of our collaboration, we provide a free preliminary estimate that outlines the scope, time, and efforts required for your research project.
