im not sure really. i do not think claude with an MCP is better than reverse engineers. I think that is taking some bad baseline of what reverse engineers are capable of.
Claude instructed by a highly skilled engineer might outperform a poor engineer, this is simple to see.
The innovation would be that claude guided by a shit engineer (or just a sales guy or my mom..) would outperfor a senior engineer. Senior in skills and experience, not title.
and RE is a vast field with an extreme wide skill tree. many of which skills are undocumented and not publicly shared,.using even tooling not available to these models...
its not just some dudes with ghidra lookin at firefox
.. thats the rarer case :S
