When we use Docker it's very easy push and pull image in a public repository in our https://hub.docker.com but this repository it's free only for public image(only one can be private).

Currently it's possible to execute a reverse engineering of a public image in repository and read the source code of project ?

You can check how an image was created using docker history <image-name> --no-trunc

Update:

Check dive which is a very nice tool that allows you to views image layers.
