👉 Back engineering, also known as reverse engineering, is the process of deconstructing a product or system to understand its underlying architecture, functionality, and design principles. This involves analyzing existing systems, products, or software to extract their components, behaviors, and interactions, often with the goal of improving, modifying, or replicating them. Back engineers dissect the source code, user interfaces, hardware specifications, and operational workflows to gain deep insights into how a system operates. This approach is commonly used in software development, product design, and security research to innovate, troubleshoot issues, or create compatible alternatives. Unlike forward engineering, which builds from the ground up, back engineering starts with the "end goal" and works backward to uncover the original design or functionality.
