REA, an open-source toolkit connecting AI coding agents like Claude Code and Codex to reverse-engineering tools such as Ghidra, jumped from under 10,000 GitHub stars on October 6 to more than 100,000 by October 12. Fans have used it to create mashups like Spider-Man swinging through Arkham City, to port Fable 2, the only mainline Fable game never released on PC, to Windows, and to run GTA V on iOS. Developer Brandon Thomas used Claude Opus 5.5 to build ArtCraft, free Rust-based alternatives to Adobe apps, which he calls a clean-room rebuild that doesn't use Adobe's code. The article notes that AI able to read the code of any software on a device could weaken traditional copy protection, leading to cheaper clones but also easier piracy.
