Review Group 5 (Arita, Ivan, Parth)

The revised article successfully clarifies the purpose and process of reverse engineering using a relatable analogy and improved structure.

Creative writing (Subahini nadarajh version):

Reverse engineering is like solving a kids’ puzzle without the picture on the box. First, you study the shapes and colors of the pieces—just like analyzing a program’s structure. Then, you start guessing where they fit, identifying patterns like data and variables.

Your first attempts might not work, so you shuffle things around—like debugging your approach. Eventually, the pieces click into place, and you see the full picture, much like uncovering a program’s logic.

It’s all about patience, observation, and a bit of trial and error to crack the code!

creative writing ideas and suggestions

  • „A ‚real man‘ does not need the instructions! Ever heard of that? Building furniture without using the instructions is like reverse engineering the code. Trial and error to get to know how to put things together. …“

  • can be explained using detective genre metaphor, maybe with references to Sherlock Holmes
