Human-written API documentation, on the other hand, tends to be inconsistent in quality

Also this weekend I found out that Claude is better at writing Home Assistant automations than I am and I have been doing it for years.

is this like the ultimate form of "headline is all you need"?

I came here wanting to see after-action-report of someone actually using Ai or wtvr for reverse-engineering. Instead I got "I heard it was so. The end"

There's no way to make a profit off reverse engineering home devices so I expect while this is likely to be one of the most groundbreaking impacts of LLMs, it won't see a ton of adoption until token costs come down.

Various firmware bugs that I’m sure could be fixed but aren’t, because they don’t bug the manufacturer enough? But they certainly bug me on a daily basis.

You can reverse engineer websites at a breathtaking speed if you do it correctly. PeachJam.dev took me approximately 2 months to make, for instance. If I had access to Sol from the start it would likely just take 1 month.

The multiplier comes from being able to design arbitrary fast feedback loops - Claude wrote Python scripts to do decompilation matching for itself, and then use Frida traces from the original as a verification harness.
