REA Author Open-Sources 20+ Repos: An Agent-Powered Reverse Engineering Studio From Apps to Binaries
nikola_mr64990 · x · 2026-11-09
The creator of REA released a curated stack of 20+ reverse engineering tools, anchored by the REA repository (MIT-licensed, 444k stars / 110k forks on GitHub) — "reverse engineer anything with agents, from app behavior down to native binaries."
- Analysis core: REA (a single MCP connecting everything), Ghidra (free decompiler), GhidraMCP and ida-pro-mcp (let your agent drive Ghidra / IDA Pro).
- Mobile & apps: jadx (APK back to Java), Apktool (disassemble/reassemble APKs), Frida (runtime hooking), ILSpy (.NET decompilation).
- Binaries & low-level: radare2, x64dbg, ImHex, and more.
The repo ships Claude/Codex plugin configs and AGENTS.md, so the whole stack plugs directly into existing coding-agent workflows — useful for security research, protocol analysis and app behavior reverse engineering.
