I thought most products had legal provisions that prohibit reverse engineering?

Yes, and most have the same legal power as the statement: By reading this comment you accept my terms and conditions and agree to pay me ten thousand dollars per word read.

Those provisions would broadly be civil (not criminal); the vendor would have to identify you had reversed the blob and then take you to court, and then win.

They could also try for criminal charges if you’re in a relevant jurisdiction.
