Reviewed review. These are observations, not a security certification.

Open source. Requires Ghidra installation.

2026-05-10: Practical use case is cutting down the time a skilled analyst spends on the mechanical parts of RE work—renaming symbols, tracing cross-references, mapping call graphs—by letting an LLM handle navigation and summarization while you focus on the interesting logic. The honest tradeoff: decompilation quality is still Ghidra's ceiling, and on heavily optimized or obfuscated binaries that ceiling is low; AI-generated summaries can look confident while missing the one context-specific behavior that actually matters. Best treated as a force-multiplier for analysts who already know what they're looking for, not a shortcut around that knowledge. The active fork ecosystem (some variants ship 100+ tools) means you should evaluate which fork matches your architecture coverage before committing.
