Software reverse engineering questions?

If you were to try to look up the source code for a program and you convert it to something besides binary can you choose what programing language it will be in or will it be in what it was written as? (Assuming this is possible)

1- To learn to do reverse engineering is it important to know any previously required things such as a programing language or anything else needed in order to learn this? I would assume you can’t just jump right into this.


Which assembly language is better for reverse engineering, FASM or MASM?

I have tutorials for both(more for masm), I have all the software I need and I am still not sure which one to pursue.

My final choice will be based on the language which would be most ideal to know when reverse engineering programs wth software such as “win32dasm”.


How to reverse engineer algorithm, regardless the programming language?

My friend put a challenge on me to crack his algorithm.
He provides an ID number and his algorithm generates virtually unlimited 8 digits passwords.
Any passwords as long as it matches the algorithm, will grant access, which mean I win.
Is there any method to reverse engineer this algorithm, regardless the programming language?
