Reverse engineer anything with agents, from app behavior down to native binaries.
This is the REA harness I’d use before trying to reverse engineer anything. give it the target, tell it what behavior you want to understand, and it builds the investigation around that instead of blindly digging through files.
A Reddit user describes using Claude with REA to dissect Android apps for a smart scale, a cheap smart watch and a TCL air conditioner, reverse engineer their protocols and route the data to their own home server (Home Assistant/Grafana) instead of vendor clouds.
A hands-on local tutorial video on REA (Reverse Engineer Anything) walking through using agents to analyse app behaviour down to native binaries; the description links the official morluto/rea GitHub repository.

▶ ♫A Home Assistant integration that exposes the ring light of a Govee H60A4 as a separate entity, built by reverse-engineering the Govee app with REA and running fully locally over the LAN API.

A short explainer on REA, the MIT-licensed add-on that plugs into Claude Code, Codex or Cursor: one npx setup command, decompiler integration (Ghidra, Hopper, IDA), browser recording for websites, and direct reading of Electron app JavaScript, illustrated with REA's Notion and DX-Ball showcases, plus cost, limits and the disclaimer that output grants no rights to the original program.
An X post introducing REA (Reverse Engineer Anything), an MCP tool that lets AI agents analyse JavaScript/Electron apps and native binaries, with a quick-start guide (Node.js 22+, npm install --global rea-agents, rea analyze-javascript-application).
A Reddit user describes using the REA MCP from GitHub together with Gemini 3.8 Flash and Antigravity to reverse engineer their own copy of Black Ops 2 Zombies, streaming its assets into a personal Bevy/Rust reimplementation.
A demo showing REA (Reverse Engineer Anything) MCP server connected to a voice-controlled AI assistant built with Claude Code, reverse engineering a public website and a local Mac app into teardown reports and original rebuilds.
An X post saying the author pointed Claude with the REA MCP at a 2002 CD containing Solitaire and other games, promising to report back later.
