Reverse Engineer Anything (REA) links AI coding agents to Ghidra, Hopper and IDA
Reverse Engineer Anything (REA) is an open-source project (200K+ GitHub stars) that exposes reverse‑engineering tools such as Ghidra, Hopper and IDA to coding agents like Claude Code and OpenAI Codex via MCP servers, enabling agents to query disassemblers, trace functions, and iteratively inspect binaries locally; it also supports static analysis for JavaScript/Electron and .NET and is published under the MIT license.
KEY POINTS
- Reverse Engineer Anything (REA) is an open-source project (200K+ GitHub stars) that exposes reverse‑engineering tools such as Ghidra, Hopper and IDA to coding agents like Claude Code and OpenAI Codex via MCP servers, enabling agents to query disassemblers, trace functions, and iteratively inspect binaries locally; it also supports static analysis for JavaScript/Electron and .NET and is published under the MIT license.
- By automating agent-driven binary analysis, REA can significantly lower the barrier to sophisticated reverse engineering for both security research and potential misuse such as IP theft or feature bypasses.
