The human brain is often described as a powerful computer, a metaphor that leads many experts to fear AI could one day become sentient. But what if developers seeking to create machines that think are barking up the wrong tree? Our minds, according to some, are actually quantum computers. And ...

In this article, I'm going to teach you how to reverse engineer and model those parts. Years ago, I worked for a medical device company where the business model was to duplicate out-of-patent medical products.

The entrepreneurs who thrive over the next 15 years will be those who reverse engineer the future. Too many founders settle for building "features" -- incremental novelties that modify mature technology. Reverse engineering is for entrepreneurs who want to build disruptive technology (hint: if your ...

As we discuss the idea of federalizing the Republic of the Philippines, I am made to pause and consider the reverse engineering that we seem to be proposing. Why reverse engineering? Because unlike in the US experience where the colony-State and its local laws and customs predated the United States ...

The process of reverse engineering using 3D scanning can yield many outputs and there is certainly some confusion between them. I hope this brief explanation of options can help set you down the correct path for your needs. The term raw is certainly a defining feature. Nearly all 3D acquisition devices ...

Comment Virtual reality clown Magic Leap did not try to reverse engineer Microsoft's HoloLens technology, the upstart stated in its lawsuit against Todd Keil, its former head of security.

The elected president announces, "The association will pass a government regulation to protect the profession." Chances of success are enhanced by analyzing the steps and working backward. One way to frame reverse engineering is to use the criteria in the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award.

We love a bit of reverse engineering here at Hackaday, figuring out how a device works from the way it communicates with the world. This project from [Jim Yang] is a great example of this: he reverse-engineered the Samsung Gear VR controller that accompanies the Gear VR add-on for their phones.

Whenever I come across a simple but transformative idea, I make sure that the people I want to see successful know about. Lucky you! So the war between expenses and profits is epic.

Techniques for reverse-engineering hashes and de-anonymisation of Strava exercise records and other data are widely discussed online, and the practice has burgeoned with the volume of data being collected and analysed. “Companies have measures in place to protect the data they have,” Sangster ...

This approach of working backwards from measurements of the functioning system to engineer models of how that system works is called reverse engineering. Discovering how the human brain works in the language of engineers will not only lead to transformative A.I. It will also illuminate new approaches ...

With help from an amateur astronomer, NASA suddenly found itself with an extra satellite in orbit, and the data is now being recovered. Lucky breaks are few and far between in the space business, but NASA has just received one with the official confirmation that its Imager for Magnetopause-to-Aurora ...

If you are learning how to reverse engineer or already know how, but want to test your skills, a common tool to use is a CrackMe. ... I just want to recreate a place where people can learn about reverse engineering by doing crackmes, because I personally think that it is the easiest way to learn this discipline.

The Iranian UAS shot down in Israeli territory on February 10th seems to be a very basic copy of the American type. But with that, the Iranians may have more sophisticated versions. It is clear that the Iranians have developed an impressive capability to reverse engineer different systems, and it would be a ...
