REA: open-source agent reverse-engineers apps down to binaries, 25k stars in a day
zeeg · x · 2026-10-12
REA is a 100% open-source reverse-engineering agent that lets Claude Code or Codex dissect any app down to the binary: native apps, Electron, websites, APKs, firmware, even smart-contract bytecode. It shows evidence for every claim and rebuilds the feature itself. It hit 25,000+ GitHub stars in a single day (now 93.2k stars, MIT-licensed, with MCP/CLI/agent-skills support). Sentry CEO zeeg quipped that 'lawyers are going to make a killing over the next decade.'
