SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Reverse engineering engagements often suffer from inconsistency and lack of auditable processes. rev-methodology provides a structured lifecycle with a defined directory layout and documentation to standardize work across teams.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Defines the .rev/ directory layout (config.yaml, samples/, disasm/, reports/) and the engagement lifecycle (scope, triage, static, dynamic, artifact authoring, report, replay).
  • Provides a per-sample reporting framework and replay workflow to ensure reproducibility and traceability.
  • Useful for security researchers, incident responders, and firmware analysts executing repeatable RE engagements.

Quick Start

Run this methodology at the start of every reverse-engineering engagement to enforce consistent practices.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I standardize reverse engineering workflows across multiple firmware samples?▼

Standardize reverse engineering workflows by defining a .rev directory layout with a config.yaml schema, triage checklists, and per-sample reports to ensure repeatable, auditable analyses across samples.

What is a structured reverse engineering engagement lifecycle for malware triage?▼

A structured reverse engineering engagement lifecycle spans scope, triage, static analysis, dynamic analysis, artifact authoring, report generation, and replay to ensure traceability and reproducibility.

How do I make protocol reverse engineering results reproducible and auditable?▼

Make protocol reverse engineering reproducible by using a defined replay workflow and per-sample reporting framework that documents the engagement lifecycle from scope to replay.

Can I use this methodology for both static and dynamic analysis of firmware?▼

Yes, the methodology supports both static and dynamic analysis stages for firmware analysis, malware triage, and protocol reverse engineering across multiple samples and lifecycle stages.

What's the best way to document a reverse engineering engagement for incident response teams?▼

Document reverse engineering engagements using a standardized .rev directory structure containing config.yaml, samples, disassembly outputs, and reports to enforce consistent practices across incident response teams.

When do I need a structured replay workflow for reverse engineering?▼

You need a structured replay workflow when performing reverse engineering engagements that require reproducibility and traceability across multiple samples, ensuring analyses can be verified and audited.
