## Summary

A solo founder built REA Library, a site with 12 reverse engineering targets, 18 copy-ready prompts, a 7-stop learning roadmap, and 46 checked links. Users pick a target, copy a prompt, and paste it into their agent, and the tool can also be installed with npx rea-agents@latest setup.

STOP WASTING HOURS TRYING TO LEARN REA.

I built a site that turns your agent into a complete reverse engineering lab. 

Pick a target, copy a prompt, paste it in.

→ http://rea-library.vercel.app

WHAT'S INSIDE:

1. 12 targets: desktop apps, Electron, Android, iOS, Wi-Fi routers, network protocols, old games, websites, browser extensions, .NET/Unity, file formats, CTFs
2. 18 copy-ready prompts, each built on a real REA workflow
3. A 7-stop roadmap with a progress tracker
4. 46 checked links: repos, books, papers, free courses
5. The 12 most shared REA guides on X

Install: npx rea-agents@latest setup

PICK A TARGET → GET THE PROMPT:

1. Desktop app → How does this feature work?
2. Electron app → Map the app's IPC
3. Android APK → Recover an algorithm from an APK
4. iOS app → Explain an iOS app
5. Wi-Fi router → Look inside router firmware
6. Network protocol → Decode it from your own traffic
7. Old game → Rebuild a game mechanic in C
8. Browser extension → Audit what it reads and sends
9. No target yet → Coach me through a crackme

BEST ORDER TO LEARN:

Install REA → Notes Export → Notion → CTF binary → Aegis APK → DX-Ball → then Ghidra, assembly and papers

One rule: only reverse what you own or have permission to. Rebuild from a spec, never copy the code.
