  I hope that one day we have a tool that can convert any proprietary binary to source code with a single click. It would be so much fun to have an "open source" version of all games. Currently, there are projects like https://github.com/Try/OpenGothic and https://github.com/SFTtech/openage, but these require years of community effort.

  For LLMs to solve code I think they should be AST-native. Code is a tree, not a sequence — yet we feed it to models linearly, with no explicit structure. Todays models lack recurrence or true memory, so they can’t reason over hierarchical structures effectively.

  Which tools can currently invoke MCP? I have read only a little about MCP and got to know that Claude's desktop application is capable of using MCP locally.Are there any chat interfaces which allow using MCP remotely?I would like to be able to specify MCP endpoints and the functions they offer in ChatGPT's, Claude's and Gemini's web interfaces so that I can have them call my servers remotely. A bit like "GPTs" and "Gems".

  Her previous integration with Ghidra and an LLM had a good video, too: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42860849Malimite – iOS and macOS Decompiler - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42829402 - Jan, 2025 (37 comments)

  If you haven't watched her Youtube channel before I recommend checking it out. Besides the technical content I think the editing with retro OS graphics are fun.

  Also one for radare2:https://github.com/dnakov/radare2-mcp

  my experience with just copying and pasting things from ghidra into LLMs and asking it to figure it out wasn't so successful. it'd be cool to have benchmarks for this stuff though.

  Thought experiment. Suppose all binaries could be instantly reverse engineered to perfection. How would that change security?

  This is very cool but it would be nice to have more features on the MCP server, such as arbitrary read and write of programs. For example, I was working on a self-unpacking CTF challenge which XORed instructions. It would be nice to have it be able to read the values at the addresses it xored.

  Is anyone working on a "catalog" of MCP servers? Searching on Github is not exactly the best way to discover these.

  RE is exactly the sort of work that requires precision and careful reasoning, not hallucinatory statistical inference. Seeing how LLMs stumble very heavily on the former makes it clear that AI will not replace us.
