What MITRE CAPEC-167: White Box Reverse Engineering (Standard Attack Pattern - Medium Severity) requires
MITRE CAPEC-167 (White Box Reverse Engineering) is a standard-level attack pattern in the MITRE Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification. An attacker discovers the structure, function, and composition of a type of computer software through white box analysis techniques. White box techniques involve methods which can be applied to a piece of software when an executable or some other compiled object can be directly subjected to analysis, revealing at least a portion of its machine instructions that can be observed upon execution. Likelihood of attack: Unknown. Typical severity: Medium. Parent pattern for CAPEC-190 Reverse Engineer an Executable to Expose Assumed Hidden Functionality; CAPEC-191 Read Sensitive Constants Within an Executable; CAPEC-204 Lifting Sensitive Data Embedded in Cache; and others. Maps to weaknesses CWE-1323.
