How far can I get by reverse-engineering ?

The system development process has generated a safety-critical system plus other artefacts such as a paper user manual/procedures to demo the system.

How would I go trying to doctor a copy of the code and then reverse-engineer changes into the other artefacts to “reflect the released code” ?

Also might I doctor a copy of the “user manual/procedure to demo the system” and reverse-engineer those changes into the code.

I suppose only a small fraction of my attempts would be successful.

How on earth would I get anyone to accredit/authenticate/certify this mumbo-jumbo I am producing ?

  1. what programming language are you using?

  2. don’t think you can do it with out the source code and an understanding of why it is written the way it is. Plus it’s probably a copyright infringement to reverse engineer software.
