   Hands-on review finds REA reverse-engineering tool is more hype than substance

   A Juejin post by developer "程序员鱼皮" reviews REA (Reverse Engineer Anything), an open-source command-line tool plus MCP service that wraps established reverse-engineering utilities such as Ghidra, IDA and JADX so AI coding assistants like Cursor, Codex and Claude Code can drive them. The author reports that Codex with GPT-6 Astra successfully added a new character to an old Android game, while Claude Opus 5.5 refused to fully decompile a Flutter app on safety grounds and a switch to DeepSeek produced a working skeleton analysis. He concludes REA invents nothing new, that its roughly 170 tool definitions and 100k-plus tokens of context are heavy, and that models can reverse-engineer without it; the post also repeats anecdotal, unverified user stories and a claim that the project's GitHub stars jumped past 200,000 in early October.

   REA tops 110K stars in a week as AI reverse-engineering wave stirs legal debate

   REA (Reverse Engineer Anything) connects reverse-engineering tools such as Ghidra, IDA and JADX to coding agents like Claude Code and Codex through MCP, so a single prompt makes an agent inspect a binary or app package and return findings with evidence. Citing Star History data, the article says the project went from under 10,000 stars on October 6 to more than 110,000 on October 12 — roughly 100,000 stars in six days. It notes that open-source projects wiring AI into reverse-engineering tools, such as GhidraMCP and IDA Pro MCP, already existed, that several reverse-engineering experts call the hype overblown, and that sending decompiled output to model providers plus anti-decompilation clauses in user agreements can raise trade-secret, copyright and contract risks.
