Reverse Engineering. What is it and why does it matter?
Reverse Engineering
What is it and why does it matter?
In the context of sanctions, the question of creating analogues of Western technologies has shifted from abstract discussion to acute necessity.
When access to products, components, and software becomes restricted, one must figure out how technologies work and attempt to reproduce them.
A documentary film was released — "How to Get Access to Everything: Reverse Engineering". The film explores how the USSR and Russia developed a culture of technical analysis to create new products based on existing ones.
What do pirates and computer games have to do with it?▪️ In the 90s, many Western programs and games were not officially sold in Russia. Software reached the market through workarounds, requiring technical analysis to run without restrictions.
▪️ This led to a generation of specialists for whom breaking down complex programs became a hobby, later engaging in cybersecurity and software analysis.
️Today, reverse engineering is a strategic advantage, and the experience of the SMO has demonstrated this. In the AI era, understanding how technology works and its limitations will be advantageous.
