# maluramichael/awesome-reverse-engineer-anything

> A curated awesome list of open-source projects that reverse engineered apps, games, consoles, protocols and devices, plus the tools used, with star trends refreshed daily. Entries need 500+ stars and a commit within the last year.

- Magnitude: 4.2 out of 10 — Early signal
- Stars: 168 total · +1 star measured 2026-11-04, 00:17–01:48 UTC, ≈ 37 by evening
- Star trust: star growth looks organic

## Useful for

- Find open reimplementations of proprietary apps like Photoshop or Word for Linux.
- Pick tools such as Ghidra to start analyzing a binary you own.
- Track trending reverse-engineering projects by daily star growth.

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-11-04 (UTC), 00:17–01:48: 167 → 168 stars (+1). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +37 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 2 days old and already has 168 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #192.
- About 7 forks a day — people are taking the code.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 7
- Issues and pull requests: 6
- Watchers: 2
- Average over the last week: 68 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 1

## Stars per day, last 3 days (oldest → newest, today is partial)

2026-11-02 … 2026-11-04: 126, 42, 1

## Spotted in now

- Top new repositories this week: #192

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
Data as of 2026-11-04 01:58 UTC, updated every 30 minutes.
