## Useful for

- Find a tool to analyze a suspicious executable or memory image
- Pick a disassembler or debugger for a specific platform (Android, iOS, macOS)
- Choose a course or book to learn assembly and reversing fundamentals

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-12 (UTC), 02:19–04:23: 121 → 146 stars (+25). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +100 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 3 days old and already has 146 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #154.
- About 22 forks a day — people are taking the code.
- Recent forks include notable developers: @Kenainy-aizen (219 followers).

## 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: 28
- Issues and pull requests: 2
- Watchers: 5
- Average over the last week: 62 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 12

## Stars per day, last 4 days (oldest → newest, today is partial)

2026-10-09 … 2026-10-12: 29, 35, 83, 25

## Spotted in now

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.
