It's been a few years since I've rolled up my sleeves and did some reverse engineering with Ghirda. The skill is very "use it or lose it" so I wonder if this will help me get back into it quicker. Or... a ton of hallucinations leading down dead end rabbit holes. Curious if anyone has given it a shot an can speak to the experience.
I'm interested to see how MCP and the development in AI will impact the CTF scene in the future.
I wonder if embeddings could be created from open source and library code and then used to convert back the code with all the correct variable and function names.
I was about to start doing this, then realized I shouldn't nerd-snipe myself... The original extension definitely felt user unfriendly, so I was using Claude Code manually, feeding it an exported listing file. The listing files lack full addresses, so it wasn't optimal source material.

Otoh I can see this being disproportionately helpful with reverse Engineering Rust and Go binaries, which usually include many opensource dependencies

It's not AI but Ghidra has a cool feature called BSim which does something similar. Each function get's a "feature vector" which now that I think about it has some clear parallels to embeddings.
