Repository files navigationAwesome Reverse Engineer Anything  
Reverse engineering turns a closed program, protocol or device into something you can read, rebuild and run yourself. These are the open projects that did it and the tools they used, with star trends refreshed every day. Only what is hot makes it: at least 500 stars and a commit in the last year to get in, and once a project is in, it stays.
Most stars gained per day over the last 7 days, excluding related lists.
Desktop software and operating systems rebuilt without the original source code.
