Reverse engineering with artificial intelligence

Rea is an AI agent-based reverse engineering tool that analyzes everything from application behavior to native binaries. Developed in TypeScript, this software aims to decode the working logic of complex systems through automated processes.

What you get

  • You can decipher the internal logic of desktop or web applications whose source code you do not have access to, with AI support.
  • By integrating with reverse engineering software Hopper and Ghidra, you can securely inspect binary system files on your local computer.
  • You can learn step-by-step with evidence how a software feature you like works and adapt it to your own project.

Installation

Starting the setup wizard
npx rea-agents setup
Global installation with the npm package manager
npm install --global rea-agents
rea setup

Running it

System check and sample application analysis
npx -y rea-agents@latest doctor
npx -y rea-agents@latest analyze /Applications/Notes.app

If you don't write code

I want to configure the REA reverse engineering tool on my system. First, complete the necessary installation steps with the 'npx rea-agents setup' command and establish the MCP (Model Context Protocol) connection for my AI interface. Then, run the 'npx -y rea-agents@latest doctor' command to check dependencies, inspect a local application of my choice, and explain with evidence how the feature I am looking for works.

Repository: https://github.com/morluto/rea. Follow the official instructions in the README of this repository for setup and execution.

Before starting, check which OS we are on and if the necessary tools (e.g., Python, Node.js, Git, Docker) are installed. Install any missing ones step-by-step according to this system.

Create a new, empty folder to work in. Do not touch any files outside this folder and do not delete anything. Tell me what you are going to do in one sentence before running each command.

Tell me what I should see on the screen at the end of each step. If an error occurs, I will paste the error message to you exactly as it is, and we will fix it together.
