Problem statement : understand binary ...code formats / executables 

Opportunity :

reverse engineering of code i.e. from hex to c/c++ could potentiall be done

using lint in combination with c/c++ utility that derive out of utility function like  [s]scanf ...series of functions

that can convert a string to Hex and vice versa


eg: understand nitti-grities of compiler/executables , reverse engineer ...malware ...that fall within the scope of IDS,
    viz. ability to detect or pin-point compromized code [potentially could be identified with a diff on hex/C code the comprized words]

    i.e. a compromized OS/kernel / IOS ...etc ...fall-out ...enterprise and high level security ...vulnerabilities
         and the demilitarized zone's

Note: The above problem statement having been encountered in various scenarios
      and detailed in various 'Proof of concepts' as mentioned in 
      
       http://uk.geocities.com/ravivenkatus/projects.pdf
       http://ravishankarkv.tripod.com/projects.pdf
        ....apply appropriate
      'use-case' modeling, rationalize and arrive at a workable and feasible 
       solution both commercially and techinically viable.
