Rea
Rea is an open-source project that enables reverse engineering of various software components, including native binaries, JavaScript and Electron apps, .NET assemblies, and websites. It uses agents to inspect the target and trace relevant code, returning findings with their evidence. Rea supports multiple analysis tools, including Hopper, Ghidra, and IDA, and can be used from the terminal or through a graphical user interface. The project provides a range of features, including pseudocode and assembly generation, module and import recovery, and native analysis. Rea is designed to be extensible, with a modular architecture that allows users to add new analysis tools and providers. The project is actively maintained, with regular updates and a strong focus on community engagement and contribution.
