Who are the best 'reversers' out there? I work in bioengineering which is largely a reverse-engineering discipline (i.e. we do a lot of tweaking natural organisms that we didn't design) -- just curious if there are overlapping ways of thinking / general approaches. Anyone do serious CS research on reverse engineering methodologies?

I've been out of touch and out of practice for years now, so I'm curious to know the answer to this question. I was fascinated with reverse engineering back when Fravia[1] hadn't yet completely moved away from cracking to "search lore".

There is the 0-day Scene, those groups which are pretty much closed/private (to name some, CORE, BliZZARD, EMBRACE, HERiTAGE, SSG, DiGERATi..), these are invitation only. And the Web scene groups like FFF, TSRh, RES, who often offer to solve some keygenme/crackme for newcomers to be accepted.
