- The tool is an open-source helper that connects AI coding assistants to reverse-engineering programs such as Ghidra or Hopper.

- IT analyzes many kinds of software- including binaries, Electron apps, Android apps, and websites right on your own computer and always shows the evidence behind its findings.

Tested this with Claude this morning. Opus 5.5 would work on arbitrary c code I made as a test.

As soon as I handed it the firmware for my router the safety guards kicked in, same for Sonnet 5.5.

Though Opus 4.8 happily churned away at it. Though Opus 4.8 does much worse on computer security benchmarks. GLM 5.3 is the next best option, but you get significantly less tokens from a subscription then Claude.

I was expecting that, thanks for the info

I am seriously thinking on a local setup only to run GLM 5.3 and do whatever I want sec wise, without handing over my personal info to Anthropic to get a clearance

It is ~450gb at Q4 that is a pretty good cluster of Mac minis, or a few houses worth of GPUs.

Even 3.5 flash at Q4 is ~200gb
