Open-Source REA Toolkit Empowers AI Agents to Reverse Engineer Software Without Source Code

A new open-source reverse-engineering toolkit launched this week that gives AI coding agents the ability to decompile, analyze, and understand software binaries, Electron applications, Android packages, and more—without requiring access to source code. REA, short for Reverse Engineer Anything, ships as both a CLI tool and Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, bridging coding agents like Claude Code and Cursor to industry-standard decompilers including Ghidra, IDA Pro, and Hopper.
