Cult of cantStopWontStopChiangStop

TL;DR of my new article: Reverse Engineer Anything went from 40 to 229k GitHub stars in 12 days. I ran /last30days 13 times and cut 100+ posts down to the 8 things people actually took apart:

🖥️ A bug in hardware you own: a researcher found a hole in their own Dell monitor’s firmware in 15 minutes with a Ghidra MCP.

🔍 One feature, with evidence: Obsidian’s quick switcher rebuilt and checked against the real app across 4,915 queries.

🔑 What your build leaks: the hidden unlock code in a stripped Mac app, recovered straight from the binary.

❄️ The vendor app you hate: the most-liked post in the sweep was @icanberk (22,478 likes) reverse-engineering their AC by having Codex watch an emulator’s network calls.

🎮 A whole game: 500 billion tokens, 99% of functions back, 83% byte-exact. The trick: “A simple PASS or FAIL signal would be enough.”

🕹️ Games you own: universal-modder from @rehan_shei, and dozens of old games ported to the browser.

🛠️ IDA for your agent: Hex-Rays shipped an official IDA MCP server, free and open source.

✅ Ground truth: REA’s claims about Red Alert checked against EA’s GPL source. 7 of 8 right.

🎨 The Adobe clones: the biggest videos of the week were about Photoshop and Premiere rebuilt in Rust. Everyone credited REA. The repos say clean-room, from public specs.
