FOSDEM event "Reverse-engineering as a crossroads for investigation, science and open tools and technologies"

Xavier Coadic

Type devroom

We are experimentally trying to revisit the practice of reverse-engineering to explore these possible and effective contributions in the case of investigation (journalism, activism, science, art).

Starts on day 1 (2021-02-06) at 17:40 (Brussels time, UTC+1) in room Research (duration 00:10)

“We want (Exposing the Invisible) to inspire a new generation of people committed to transparency and accountability.” (Tactical Tech). Reverse-engineering consists in studying an object (or a method) in order to determine its internal functioning. Reverse-engineering consists in identifying a precise case, making a recognition, disassembling step by step and piece by piece, then understanding the mechanism; and finally reassembling the object (or the method) with a new value proposition in its operation.
