Ive been using it (the original 15 tool version) for months now. It’s amazing. Any app's inner workings are suddenly transparent. I can track down bugs. Get a deeper understanding of any tool, and even write plug-ins or preload shims that mod any app. It’s like I finally actually _own_ the software I bought years ago.

For objective C heavy code, I also use Hopper Disassembler (which now has a built in MCP server).

Talking about RE'ing applications and equating that to OSS is not a good look when you work at GitHub...

[derrida]

I have no idea about any of that but like I wasn't thinking of github until you mentioned it and this comment I upvoted because was informative and relevant to the discussion and I don't know about R.E but curious to try and this kind of activity just seems like the sort of things people who are interested in software, learning and aware of security do... like to find bugs or malware or something... FOSS or not - actually "especially if not FOSS" you'd kinda like people to scan their binaries at <big tech corp> and have that knowledge indigenous wouldn't you? while thinking of code security etc, anyway

Is this a bad look for Derrida.org?

Anyway, "not my business"

That's why I put it in quotes. In no way am I equating anything. Making the inner workings visible is what I was referring to.
