Solution 2

It is the process of taking a program object (relocatable or executable) and converting it into source code by figuring out what the binary code does. It requires a lot of knowledge of the format of program objects, instruction codes etc, plus much hard work. There are some ready made solutions floating about the internet, take a look at Google.

in easy words

Compelling
(input) Source Code --[ compiler ]--> (output) executable or like

Reverse engineering
(output) Source Code <--[ reverser ]-- (input) executable or like

example :
in Sybase PowerAMC (or like) can very easy way to understanding "Reverse engineering" just by playing with SQL =).

you can try with database (sql script -> binary database; binary database -> sql script)
