# REA: agent-powered reverse engineering for binaries and applications

Canonical source : [REA: agent-powered reverse engineering for binaries and applications](<https://sebastien.rigaux.be/en/tech-watch/links/rea-agent-powered-reverse-engineering-for-binaries-and-applications>)

REA offers a unified approach to reverse engineering, driven by agents that can analyze native binaries, JavaScript/Electron apps, websites, or databases without source code access. The tool integrates with agents like Claude Code or Cursor, provides evidence and limitations for each analysis, and leverages native tools (Hopper, Ghidra, IDA) for deep inspection. The documentation details supported scenarios, provider setup, and CLI workflows, with concrete examples of feature-level reverse engineering from real applications.
