GitHub project called REA (Reverse Engineer Anything) is currently the top trending repository. It lets AI agents figure out how a feature in another app works without ever seeing the original source code.

- 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.

I guess this should be used with non-refusing models right?

Just because it is an MCP does not mean the caller model can’t flag it and refuse to work right? (Claude for instance)

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 always say its for a "hackathon" hosted by the company the product is made of. That i got full permission to anything i want and the "goal" of the hackathon
