Is it possible to get Windows source code?

How? Not really. Windows is a proprietary Operating System as opposed to open source (such as Linux). As such the source code to Windows is considered a trade secret by Microsoft and is not offered to the public.

Is it possible to reverse engineer a software?

Regarding legal documentation, reverse engineering is often prohibited by end-user license agreements (EULAs). But the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act specifies that reversing a piece of software is legal if it” done to improve compatibility with other products.

Is it possible to reverse engineer a game?

Is reverse engineering legal? Yes, in fact there are many cases where the courts have sided with the reverse-engineer when it comes to anti-competitive practises. If you are interested there are a few court battles that are relevant: SEGA vs Accolade.

Is it illegal to download source code?

Microsoft source code is both copyrighted and protected as a trade secret. As such, it is illegal to post it, make it available to others, download it or use it. Microsoft will take all appropriate legal actions to protect its intellectual property.

Can you reverse engineer a binary?

It is possible to reverse engineer any binary irrespective of what language/compiler is used, but it depends on the knowledge of the reverse engineer who does that job (or) the developer who developed the tool that does that job. You can reverse engineer anything.

Is it possible to reverse engineer Windows 10?

All software (applications, operating systems, boot records, and everything else) can be reverse engineered, given enough time and the right tools, knowledge, and skills. The Windows 10 license agreement specifically prohibits attempts to “…reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the software…”. Windows 10 is not unique in this regard.

Can You reverse engineer an existing Windows C# application?

The .NET Framework makes it easy to reverse engineer an existing application. Discover what techniques to use to deter prying eyes from deconstructing your code. A recent project entailed making changes to an existing Windows C# application with the caveat the source code was unavailable (the previous developer refused to provide it).

What is reverse engineering software and how does it work?

Developers incorporate reverse engineering techniques to solve tasks from investigating bugs in code to ensuring smooth and easy legacy code maintenance. When reverse engineering software, the operating system it was created for should be one of the first things you pay attention to.

What type of CPU do you need to reverse engineer?

Modern desktop devices usually use x86-64 CPUs. Mobile devices use ARMv7, ARMv7s, ARMv8-A, ARMv8.2-A, ARMv8.3-A, and ARM64 CPUs. Knowledge of instruction sets is important when reverse engineering algorithms.
