New open-source tool reverse engineers apps with AI agents
Original: Reverse engineer anything with agents, from app behavior down to native binaries
A developer has released an open-source project that uses AI agents to reverse engineer software automatically, from observing an application's behavior down to analysing native binaries. The tool, called REA, is hosted on GitHub. Hacker News readers are engaging with the release, debating how far agentic automation can go in what has traditionally been a manual, specialised task in security and software analysis.
Why now: AI agents automating reverse engineering, a skilled and tedious task, is a striking new capability
