menterbalik atur
"You may not reverse engineer, reverse compile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to discover the source code of the Embedded Software;" => "Anda dilarang menterbalik atur, menterbalik kompil, mengenyahhimpun, atau sebaliknya mencuba untuk mengesan kod sumber Perisian Terbenam;"
- engineer here is meant in the sense of arranging skillfully; it is speaking of engineering as contrived arrangement/management.
- i debated on translating it as "mengatur terbalik" but decided "menterbalik atur" reflects better the sense of a source code arangement being deliberately reversed. "mengatur terbalik" sounds more like an error.

Kamus Perwira gives "kejuruteraan undur" for "reverse engineering"

Bashir Basalamah
: "engineer" here is a verb, not noun. maybe "menjurutera undur", or "merekayasa undur", or "mengatur balik" based on May's suggestion.

English term (edited):
reverse engineer, mereka bentuk songsang, pengaturcaraan songsang
kejuruteraan songsang
Reflect the true nature of the concept of reverse engineer. kejuruteraan songsang is a noun. I suggest use mereka bentuk songsang for verb. Use pengaturcaraan songsang for software context.
