Local LLM harness sought for software reverse engineering

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A user on Reddit's r/LocalLLaMA subreddit is seeking a local large language model (LLM) setup capable of reverse engineering software, specifically video games. They are looking for a harness or workspace that can analyze binaries, even if the process takes days, and are willing to invest time in configuring the environment. The user specifically inquired about the capabilities of the Qwen 3.6 35B A3B model for this research and educational purpose. AI

IMPACT Explores potential applications of local LLMs in specialized software development tasks like reverse engineering.

    Local LLM harness for reverse engineering software?

    <!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Does anyone know of a decent reverse engineering harness/workspace setup for local models that I can just point the model at and have it go to work until it's reversed most if not all of the functions in a binary, even if it takes days? Of course…
