Modifying Proprietary Code
Source code is considered the intellectual property of software companies, and they often refrain from sharing it with clients. When clients require modifications to the software, particularly if the software company is no longer in operation, reverse engineering becomes necessary. In such cases, alterations are made to the binary code, enabling clients to achieve their desired software modifications.

Debugging Legacy Code
Legacy code can harbor bugs, and pinpointing and resolving them is essential. Reverse engineering offers a way to detect and rectify bugs without delving into the source code. Advanced disassemblers decompile the problematic software into assembly code. By comprehending the program's flow, developers can manipulate crucial assembly code instructions, resulting in bug-free code that's ready for deployment.
