If you're trying to hack the code for a hentai game or a IoT sex toy, is that considered perverse engineering?
@foone this is a sublimely painful pun; great work
@foone bit banging or something

@foone i've reversed pc-98 dos clones probably used by hentai games

does that count?

@foone to clarify, I didn't actually run the games at all, I was just interested in the DOS clones. that's why i don't know for SURE if they were used by hentai games or not.
@foone Penetration testing.
@foone Presumably the incentives are perverse, at least.
@foone could it be then leveraged for ecchi computing?
@foone if the original development was perverse engineering, you're doing reverse perverse engineering. Vanilla engineering.
@foone not to be confused with preserve engineering, which is what archive.org does.
