Comment on We hid backdoors in ~40MB binaries and asked AI + Ghidra to find themparent

There’s not much difference, really. I stupidly didn’t bother looking at prior art when I started reverse engineering and the ghidra-cli was born (along with several others like ilspy-cli and debugger-cli)

That said, it should be easier to use as a human to follow along with the agent and Claude Code seems to have an easier time with discovery rather than stuffing all the tool definitions into the context.

That is pretty funny. But you probably learned something in implementing it! This is such a new field, I think small projects like this are really worthwhile :)
