holy f*ck, someone put an entire reverse engineering degree on GitHub for free
7 repos, 560k+ stars in the right order they take you from a raw binary to agents that reverse engineer anything
1. Ghidra -> how to read any binary
↳ https://github.com/NationalSecurityAgency/ghidra
the NSA’s software reverse engineering framework, where everyone starts
2. radare2 -> the same skill in the terminal
↳ https://github.com/radareorg/radare2
a UNIX-like reverse engineering framework and command-line toolset
3. LLM4Decompile -> an LLM that decompiles
↳ https://github.com/albertan017/LLM4Decompile
turns binary code into readable C, and the 9B v2 model reaches 64.9% re-executability on its own benchmark
4. r2ai -> an LLM inside radare2
↳ https://github.com/radareorg/r2ai
LLM-based reversing for radare2, the moment AI starts reading the binary with you
5. ida-pro-mcp -> let the agent drive the tool
↳ https://github.com/mrexodia/ida-pro-mcp
bridges IDA Pro to language models through MCP
6. reverse-engineering-assistant -> the same for Ghidra
↳ https://github.com/cyberkaida/reverse-engineering-assistant
an MCP server for reverse engineering tasks in Ghidra
7. REA -> agents that reverse engineer anything
↳ https://github.com/morluto/rea
35 target types, from native binaries and APKs to firmware, websites and Electron apps, with every finding backed by evidence
