Reverse Engineer Anything, with an Agent

A free talk by James Wilson on REA, an open-source MCP server giving coding agents tools for reverse engineering software, with demos.

James Wilson presents REA (Reverse Engineer Anything), an open-source MCP server that equips coding agents with tools for reverse engineering, from Ghidra decompilers for native binaries to direct inspection of JavaScript and .NET, with findings backed by evidence. The talk covers how it works, where agents genuinely help and where they fall short, and what becomes possible once software is taken apart — understanding, changing, extending and shipping something new. Expect live demos, honest mistakes and a local twist.
