While most comments are focused on the issue that they found, I’m more intrigued by the fact that Claude was able to reverse engineer so well.

Lowering the skills bar needed to reverse engineer at this level could have its own AI-related implications.

I love that it shows you the thought process that to a Senior or Staff level person would be expected to know in their approach to a reverse engineering problem with no documentation

Levels up the way I think about things

One of my earlier experiences with codex was actually reverse engineering, far before it was good at actual coding.

It was able to decompile a react native app (Tesla Android app), and fully trace from a "How does X UI display?" down to a network call with a payload for me to intercept.

Granted it did it by splitting the binary into a billion txt files with each one being a single function and then rging through it, but it worked.

I heard about this and tried quite a bit to reverse engineer a decompiled binary from a big game to find struct/schema information but could never get anything useful.

I wholeheartedly disagree. Running strings and a decompiler explicitly written for that language is kinda the first thing that comes to mind. Trying hundreds of random ways to talk to it before even doing any real reverse engineering is just a waste of compute. You're never going to guess the JSON to send to it or the random bytes. But it's not my tokens getting spent on it so meh
