Reverse Engineering Php Application By Recreating The Program From Scratch

Hello Luis,

Reverse engineering can be performed manually as well as with the help of tools that are available for this particular purpose. Manual approach requires the application to be monitored first for a few days to get an idea an idea of what particular path is being followed to obtain results of a particular request or action and to understand such functionality it is vital to identify and understand which classes are being operated upon.

If you find the above mentioned manual approach difficult to implement then you can always use tools to accomplish such task. ‘WithClass’ is one such widely used tool to carry out such task.

Hope you find this useful.

Reverse Engineering Php Application By Recreating The Program From Scratch

For recreating an application the first step is to recognize and understand  all the functions and objects you might need for the development and after that you may use a useful tool that is debug, By using Code coverage in XDEBUG you can recognize which lines of codes running during the execution of the script and any request so using this debug tool could help you to find out what part of your code or which function working or not working properly.
