A curated list of 10 GitHub repos for AI-agent-driven reverse engineering:
- Ghidra (84K stars, Apache 2.0): NSA's free decompiler that turns binaries into readable code; most AI RE tools plug into it
- ImHex (55K stars): byte-level hex editor with a built-in MCP server (off by default) so agents can open and read files
- mitmproxy (45K stars): records every request an app sends, letting agents map hidden APIs
- ILSpy (27K stars): decompiles .NET apps and games back to C#
- Frida (22K stars): hooks into running apps live
- GhidraMCP (11K stars): lets Claude Code or Cursor drive Ghidra
- Android Reverse Engineering skill (8K stars): Claude Code skill that decompiles APKs and extracts HTTP API docs
- Universal Modder (7K stars): agent skills to mod PC games you own
- Cpp2IL (3K stars): unpacks Unity IL2CPP builds
- IDA MCP (998 stars): official IDA plug-in for agents (paid IDA)
