# Investigating closed application features via reverse engineering

Dissect application binaries and bundle logic to document how target features work

[Use with BotBento ](https://app.botbento.com/?ref=usecases&utm_source=botbento.com&utm_medium=usecases&utm_campaign=investigating-closed-application-features-via-reverse-engine)Copy promptShare[Markdown](/text/usecases/investigating-closed-application-features-via-reverse-engine/index.md)

Opens BotBento. Paste the prompt into a bot; nothing is preconfigured.

- When you askTarget feature request
- ThenDecompile and trace routines
- ResultArchitecture summary and evidence

Inspect compiled binaries, scripts, or application packages locally to understand specific mechanics. The bot runs disassemblers, decompilers, and bundle analyzers via the terminal, collects verifiable evidence from symbols and control flow, and synthesizes architectural breakdowns with sample reimplementations.

## Prompt to start with

BotBentoRecommended

```
When given an application path and a target feature to investigate, run local static and dynamic inspection tools via the terminal. Trace module boundaries, symbol tables, and system calls related to the feature. Document every finding with supporting code or disassembly evidence. Never execute unverified binaries or modify external systems without user confirmation. Present the reconstructed architecture and ask for approval before writing implementation files or making repository changes.
