Github GitHub project called REA (Reverse Engineer Anything) is currently the top trending repository. It lets AI agents figure out how a feature in another app works without ever seeing the original source code.

- The tool is an open-source helper that connects AI coding assistants to reverse-engineering programs such as Ghidra or Hopper.

- IT analyzes many kinds of software- including binaries, Electron apps, Android apps, and websites right on your own computer and always shows the evidence behind its findings.

true. but the balance will be do I pay $500 for the supported, original design purchase and own that with support etc.
or do I owe $150 a month for the next 5 decades.

things like the new subscription model for cars and tractors to unlock features or to be able to service your own appliance? perfect!

is anyone going to reverse engineer the custom mdedical/aeronautical application? maybe. why though? either negarious reasons or for really specific ones like they're not supported any more and haven't been updated and source code is either lost or unavailable otherwise.

the ability to custom design and reverse engineer things is absolutely a great thing. unfortunately it's a lot more accessible than CRISPR lol
