Résumé : In system and software security, one of the first criterias to select an analysis methodology is to distinguish according to the availability of the source code. When the software we want to investigate is present only in a binary form, we must deploy multiple Reverse Engineering (RE) techniques to extract some interesting information. Artisans in the sector, known as Reverse Engineers, are in charge of mixing their personal experience with an arsenal of tools and methodologies to solve a RE problem. In this thesis, we took a step more on this problem and we try to realize what current RE paradigms lack of to increase the automation level. First, we identified two main human-in-the-loop RE setups, and we described the human role in the RE analysis pipeline with a focus on the types of feedback that the experts communicate to the automated component. After that, we performed a second step to investigate how different Reverse Engineers approach a RE task.
