# Awesome REA: Reverse Engineer Anything with AI (AIshihzong) > An unofficial, bilingual awesome list of what AI agents have reverse-engineered and rebuilt, tagged by whether each case's own sources show that REA was used. It gathers REA's official resources and showcases; community cases in games, apps, hardware and protocols, and security evaluations; the wider wave of AI reverse engineering and clean-room rebuilds without confirmed REA; plugins, guides and research, related MCP tools, other lists and press; and a section on legal questions and controversy. - Type: Collection - Targets: App · Binary · Game · Protocol - Category: Related resource lists - Relationship: Community REA learning resource - Sources reviewed: 2026-10-27 - Added to the catalog: 2026-11-03 - Original resource: - Primary source: - Catalog page: - Record JSON: - Chinese version: [简体中文](https://awesomerea.org/zh/resources/aishihzong-awesome-reverse-engineer-anything/index.md) ## Requirements & limits - Started 2026-10-13, with 50 commits on six days through 2026-10-26. At the commit of that day the English README, mirrored in Simplified Chinese, has about 110 one-line entries, with separate pages that index projects by the app they replace, check each "built with REA" claim, list new additions and collect X posts and press. The README says figures were checked on 2026-10-21 and partly refreshed on 2026-10-26, and warns that numbers move weekly. - Tags separate cases whose README, author's post or official showcase says REA was used (REA) from AI reverse engineering with other or unnamed tools (AI-RE), clean-room rewrites without reverse-engineering evidence (Rebuild) and unverified claims (Claim?). Claim checks are the maintainer's reading of public sources; the claim page says X posts could not be opened when it was checked. A short evidence section summarises two third-party controlled comparisons of REA, rea-lab and leanrea. - It links this collection among its other lists, and it names other REA case trackers such as awesome-REA-cases. A daily workflow searches GitHub and posts candidates to an issue, but entries are added by hand, and a validator checks entries against the rules stated in the list's CONTRIBUTING.md. - The README calls the list unofficial. It excludes mirrors, pure forks and projects mainly aimed at bypassing licensing, copying paid features or distributing copyrighted assets, and accepts takedown requests. The list is released under CC0-1.0. ## Primary sources 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. ## More in Related collections - [AI Rebuilds](https://awesomerea.org/resources/ai-rebuilds-directory/index.md) · Collection - [awesome-game-decompilations](https://awesomerea.org/resources/awesome-game-decompilations/index.md) · Collection - [Awesome Decomp Games](https://awesomerea.org/resources/submitgame-awesome-decomp-games/index.md) · Collection - [awesome-unofficial-pc-ports](https://awesomerea.org/resources/awesome-unofficial-pc-ports/index.md) · Collection - [awesome-decompilation](https://awesomerea.org/resources/nforest-awesome-decompilation/index.md) · Collection - [Remade](https://awesomerea.org/resources/remade-reimplementation-directory/index.md) · Collection ## About this entry The description was reviewed against primary sources.
