this is f*cking dangerous...

send this list to your claude and make any app free by the afternoon.
then read the full workflow on how to reverse-engineer any app in the article below
REA is most dangerous thing on the internet right now...
It lets Claude Code or Codex take apart any app, all the way down to the binary, and explain exactly how a feature works.
- Native apps, Electron apps, websites, APKs, firmware, even smart contract bytecode
- Shows the evidence for every claim
- Then builds its own version of the feature
Here's how to do it:
1. run npx rea-agents setup to connect REA to Claude Code
2. pick a feature and let REA figure out how it works. save the behavior and rules in a spec file
3. start a fresh Claude session with only that spec. rebuild the feature without touching the original code
4. use /goal to run the tests and check 3 intentionally broken versions. all 3 must fail
Try it, then read the full guide in the article below
This is pure treasure.
People are already cloning software with AI.
You’re still Googling what REA even is.
No more bouncing between random tutorials. This is one clear path from install to real rebuilds.

REA — shows what the tool actually calls under the hood.
The formula:
Pick an AI tool you pay for → read its public prompt → let REA show what it really calls → rebuild it or stop paying.

BEST ORDER TO LEARN:
Install REA → Notes Export → Notion → CTF binary → Aegis APK → DX-Ball → then Ghidra, assembly and papers
this is insane...
any app or device can be taken apart and rewritten whenever you want
rea + claude opus 5.5 just made reverse engineering easy
what used to take skilled people weeks or months can now be done in hours. you get full control over the result. closed source is dead.
if this hits your timeline dont scroll past it.
send the article to claude and get a full breakdown on how to reverse engineer any android app.
thats it. thank me later.
most people will ignore this.
the ones who dont will be fine.
simple as that.
This is insane...
REA + Claude Opus 5.5 just made reverse engineering trivial — any closed-source app or device can be fully disassembled to the binary and rewritten on demand.
What used to take skilled reverse engineers weeks or months can now be done in hours, with full control over the result.
Closed source is officially dead.
Send the article to Claude and get a full breakdown of how to reverse engineer any Android app.
holy sh*t, someone just dropped the full prompt library for REA
github.com/JoasASantos/REA-P…
here's what it can do:
→ software cloning and game logic reconstruction
→ function tracking and binary analysis
→ porting to WASM
→ firmware, Android APK and kernel
→ Electron apps
→ vulnerability research, anti-cheat and DMA research for CTFs and security work
17 sections, swap the <placeholders> and run
every prompt forces the same rule: files, functions and addresses for every claim, confirmed facts kept apart from guesses
ask about one function at a time, the narrower the question, the more you can trust the answer
read the full REA guide in the article below ⭣
REA creator just released prompts that turn any AI agent into reverse-engineering lab
absurdly f*cking dangerous...
One paste it and your agents will:
• reverse engineer any paid app
• open Android, IPhone apps, Windows .exe and firmware
• take apart any app without its source code
• and that's just the start...
Send this to Claude Code, Codex or Cursor and thank me later.
