Artificial intelligence (AI) and reverse engineering – THE BASICS


Understanding System Functionality: AI can analyse the behaviour of a system, such as a software
program or a physical device, to infer its internal workings. This can be immensely helpful for engineers
trying to reverse engineer complex systems, allowing them to understand the relationships between
different components and how they interact.
AI algorithms can process vast amounts of data, like a program's input, output, and internal states. By
analysing these, AI can identify patterns and relationships between different parts of the system.
Imagine a program that takes numbers as input and produces specific outputs. AI can analyse these
inputs and outputs to build a model of how the program transforms the data internally. This model
helps engineers understand how the program works even without seeing its source code.

Decoding Encoded Data: AI can be used to crack codes and reverse engineer encryption algorithms.
This has applications in security, where it can be used to identify vulnerabilities in encryption systems,
and also in data recovery, where it can be used to access lost data that has been encrypted.
AI excels at pattern recognition. It can be trained on massive datasets of encrypted and unencrypted
data. This training allows it to identify patterns in the encrypted data that might correspond to specific
coding schemes. By analysing these patterns, AI can potentially crack the code and reveal the original
data. This is similar to how AI can recognize objects in images - by finding patterns that differentiate a
cat from a dog.

Identifying Design Patterns: By analysing a system's design, AI can identify patterns that can reveal
clues about how it was built and what its purpose is. This can be a valuable asset in understanding the
logic behind a system and facilitating the process of recreating it.
AI can analyse the structure of a system, like the layout of a circuit board or the organization of code.
By comparing this structure to known design patterns, AI can make educated guesses about how the
system was built and what its purpose might be. Imagine AI analysing a circuit board. By recognizing
patterns of how components are connected (known design patterns for certain functionalities), AI can
infer what function each part serves in the overall circuit.

Automating Re-creation Tasks: Once a system has been reverse engineered, AI can be used to
automate the process of recreating it. This can involve tasks such as generating code, designing new
components, or even simulating the system's behaviour. This can significantly speed up the reverse
engineering process and make it more efficient.
Once AI understands a system, it can be used to automate tasks involved in rebuilding it. In code
generation, AI can analyse existing code and use that knowledge to write new code with similar
functionality. For designing new components, AI can be trained on existing designs and use that
knowledge to create new components that fit the reverse-engineered system. AI can even simulate the
system's behaviour by creating a virtual model that mimics how the original system works.

In essence, AI acts as a powerful analyst in the reverse engineering process. It can sift through
complex data, identify hidden patterns, and even help recreate the system based on its findings.
