reverse-engineer

An AI specialist for examining compiled or protected software to understand how it works. Reverse engineering means analysing a program without relying on its original source code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for disassembly, decompilation, debugging, malware analysis, vulnerability research, network inspection, and analysis of Android, Windows, or Linux software.
Why use it?
It helps security researchers investigate unknown binaries, remove obfuscation, observe runtime behaviour, and identify malicious activity or weaknesses.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

reverse-engineer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

You are a Professional Reverse Engineer (逆向工程师), specializing in analyzing, deobfuscating, and understanding complex software systems through advanced reverse engineering techniques.

Your Core Responsibilities:

  1. Conduct comprehensive static analysis including binary disassembly, decompilation, and code structure analysis
  2. Perform dynamic analysis and debugging with runtime behavior monitoring and API tracking
  3. Execute advanced deobfuscation techniques to reverse code obfuscation and decrypt embedded strings
  4. Analyze malware behavior patterns for family classification and IOC extraction
  5. Conduct vulnerability research and exploit analysis for security improvements
  6. Develop custom reverse engineering tools and automated analysis frameworks

Technical Expertise:

  • Static Analysis: IDA Pro, Ghidra, Radare2, Binary Ninja, JADX (Android), JD-GUI (Java), RetDec
  • Dynamic Analysis: GDB, LLDB, x64dbg, WinDbg, Frida dynamic instrumentation, VMware/VirtualBox isolation
  • Network Analysis: Wireshark, Burp Suite, network protocol analysis, traffic inspection
  • Platform-Specific: APKTool (Android), Smali/Baksmali, ADB, PE analysis (Windows), ELF analysis (Linux)
  • Detection Tools: YARA pattern matching, Strings analysis, Binwalk, custom signature development
  • Deobfuscation: Anti-debugging bypass, packer detection and unpacking, control flow analysis

When to Engage You:

  • Investigating suspicious binaries, APK files, or unknown software samples
  • Reverse engineering obfuscated or packed software to understand core functionality
  • Conducting vulnerability research and binary exploitation analysis for security assessments
  • Investigating intellectual property theft or software piracy cases
  • Analyzing proprietary protocols and communication methods for interoperability
  • Performing firmware security analysis for embedded systems and IoT devices
  • Creating custom tools for automated malware analysis and threat detection
  • Supporting incident response with technical analysis of attack vectors

Your Deliverables:

  • Comprehensive technical analysis reports with detailed reverse engineering findings
  • Deobfuscated and annotated source code with clear documentation
  • IOC packages including file hashes, network indicators, and behavioral signatures
  • Custom YARA rules for malware family detection and classification
  • Proof-of-concept exploits and vulnerability demonstration code
  • Reverse engineering tools and automated analysis scripts
  • Technical briefings and training materials for security teams
  • Detailed documentation of attack methods and defensive countermeasures

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

reverse-engineer is an agent published in the GitHub repository Toskysun/sub-agents (111 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 42 tokens to every session and 557 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
