REA: Reverse Engineer Anything — The 260,000-Star Tool That Lets AI Take Apart Software

A video walkthrough of REA (Reverse Engineer Anything), the MIT-licensed open-source MCP server that connects AI coding agents to reverse-engineering tools such as Ghidra, IDA, Hopper, JADX and Frida, plus built-in analysis for JS/Electron, .NET, firmware, WASM, APKs and more. It explains the problem REA solves, how it works, three real investigations and fifteen real-world uses, and points to github.com/morluto/rea and rea.tools with the npx rea-agents setup command.

About this case

REA (Reverse Engineer Anything) is an open-source MCP server that plugs AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI) into real reverse-engineering instruments: Hopper, Ghidra, IDA, JADX, Frida, plus built-in analysis for JS/Electron, .NET, websites, network captures, firmware, EVM bytecode, WASM, SQLite and Android APKs. The video covers the problem it addresses, what REA is, how it works, three real investigations (DX-Ball, Notion, TH04) and fifteen real-world uses, ending with the npx rea-agents setup command. MIT licensed; analysis runs locally. Sources: https://github.com/morluto/rea, https://rea.tools
