Show HN: Revenant – automatic LLM powered reverse engineering and reimplement
I am a hardware engineer and security researcher and I've been wondering whether my work could be partially automated, so I can focus on other topics as well, so I build revenant - a LLM powered (Claude, OpenAI, local AI) toolkit that builds around radare2, ghidra etc and can fully automatically analyze firmware, implement open source skeletons incl. pinouts, hardware bringup, peripheral bringup etc. or can even 1:1 replicate existing firmware so old hardware can be resurrected with modern toolchains.
Some applications are:
- Give old hardware new life
- Security Analysis of shady firmware
Check it at: https://github.com/DatanoiseTV/revenant
I would love some input on this and maybe some recommendations for improvements. For firmware RE this would be most useful if every guess is tied to evidence
