Introduction to Reverse Engineering Software
One of the most frequent "How do they do that?" questions I get is essentially software reverse engineering. This online book provides an in-depth view of these techniques.
Reverse engineering is not easy, it is time consuming and tedious, unless you have adequate motivation. For some, unlocking the mystery of a forbidden knowledge is enough to motivate 20 hour days for weeks. For others, they are being paid good money for it. There is also a culture of those who break open the code simply because it was hidden, and they want to do it "because they can".
I think it is a healthy mental exercise. At a minimum, you will want to parse through this book to have an idea for what is involved. Repeat the general process when solving other problems in life.
Look for the analogy.
