alt Hacker NewsInteresting to see Ghidra here!
A friend from work just used it (with Claude) to hack River Ride game (https://quesma.com/blog/ghidra-mcp-unlimited-lives/).
Inspired by the, I have it a try as well. While I have no prior experience with reverse engineering, I ported an old game from PowerPC to Apple Silicon.
First, including a few MCPs with Claude Code (including LaurieWired/GhidraMCP you forked from, and https://github.com/jtang613/GhidrAssistMCP). Yet, the agent fabricated as lot of code, instead for translating it from source.
I ended up using headless mode directly in Cursor + GPT 5.2 Codex. The results were the best.
Once I get some time, will share a write-up.
I’ve also been playing around with reverse engineering, and I’m very impressed. It turns out that Codex with GPT-5.2 is better at reverse engineering than Claude.
For example, Codex can completely reverse-engineer this 1,300-line example [0] of a so-called C64-SID file within 30 minutes, without any human interaction.
I am working on a multi-agent system that can completely reverse-engineer C64 games. Old MS-DOS games are still too massive to analyze for my budget limit.
