REA + Ghidra Toolkit
Evidence-oriented REA + Ghidra static-analysis workflows, read-only PE32 and Delphi VMT tools.
Install
Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).
claude mcp add --transport http rea-ghidra-toolkit 'https://gitmcp.io/ethanhunt1981/rea-ghidra-toolkit/mcp'
{
"mcpServers": {
"rea-ghidra-toolkit": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://gitmcp.io/ethanhunt1981/rea-ghidra-toolkit/mcp"
}

REA + Ghidra Toolkit
A small, dependency-light toolkit for authorized static analysis of native binaries with REA and Ghidra. It is intentionally built as a reusable knowledge base for agents, not as a dumping ground for a specific target.
Think in two layers
- This repository contains only generic methods, tools, and synthetic tests.
- Every target-specific artifact, decompilation, or private result stays in the private analysis project.
When this applies
The toolkit is aimed at native, unmanaged PE32 binaries on Windows:
- classic 32-bit Delphi applications have dedicated guidance (VMT / RTTI);
- other PE32 code (e.g. C/C++ components) works with the read-only inventory and the headless Ghidra export;
- analysis is static only; every claim is verified before it is treated as a finding.
Not a fit for managed runtimes (.NET / Java), PE32+ 64-bit images (the quick parser is deliberately PE32-only), executing code as a debugging workflow, or any target without solid legal authorization.
Why this exists
You want to avoid rebuilding the same reverse-engineering workflow from scratch every time. This toolkit answers:
- How do I start a PE / Delphi analysis in a traceable way?
- How do I combine REA, Ghidra, and small local tools without treating inferences as facts?
- How do I export and document results so a later session can continue?
- Which mistakes should be avoided early instead of discovered late?

Quickstart
# From the repository root
python -m tools.pe_inventory "C:\analysis\program.exe"
python -m tools.pe_inventory "C:\analysis\program.exe" --imports --json
# Check a known VMT candidate
python -m tools.delphi_vmt "C:\analysis\program.exe" --vmt 0x00412340
# Heuristic search; always validate candidates in a disassembler
python -m tools.delphi_vmt "C:\analysis\program.exe" --scan
Run the synthetic test suite:
python -m unittest discover -v

Core rule
Observation, inference, and unknown are three different things. A plausible name, string, or VMT candidate is not yet a behavioral proof. The templates are here to keep that distinction visible across sessions.
