I am not able to understand exact difference in Digital Forensic and Reverse Engineering. Will Digital Forensic has anything to do with decompilation, assembly code reading or debugging?
What is difference between Digital Forensic and Reverse Engineering
tools;disassembly;decompilation;debuggers;digital forensics
It might be said that the goals (motive) of the investigation rather than the tools or techniques determine whether some work would be classified as digital forensics or reversing.Definitionally digital forensics is the examination and analysis of digital evidence for use in a legal proceeding. It is certainly true that not all DF is for legal cases, but that is what forensics means :)Reverse engineering is the process of , well, reversing someone else's engineering. There are plenty of reasons to use RE techniques that don't have anything to do with legal investigations, including reversing to gain and maintain compatibility or purely for education and knowledge.Decompilation/disassembly, debugging, and reading code/assembly, are all techniques that can be used in DF (DFIR), development and testing of software and hardware, as well as RE.
