Introduction Reverse engineering is a process by which one understands the complete mechanism of a system by dismantling the system down into its components. The goal of reverse engineering was not to alter the system in any way but to understand the mechanism of the machine in order try and improve it. A stapler is a device‚ whose mechanism is to bind sheets of paper or similar material in place; by way of thin metal staples. Staplers are widely used in offices‚ schools ‚ businesses but not exclusive
