Yes the RE skills are truly remarkable. I recently got an Insta360 camera. Problem: The Studio desktop app (video editor) is only distributed for Windows/Mac. No problem I thought, wine will do it! Next problem was however, that they currently only support nvidia/mac hardware for hardware acceleration, otherwise you only get software encoding/decoding which is a pain at 360 deg 8k video. So I managed to RE the binary with Claude and write a shim that uses the integrated AMD GPU of my laptop (780m) - the app is quite usable now. I think doing this RE manually might've taken me several weeks at least, and I probably wouldn't have bothered.

While I was at it, I figured since the Android app has a bunch of bloat like nagscreens, telemetry, social media integration, I might look into that as well. So I stripped the Android app down to the bare essentials to be what it is: just a video editor.

It is really crazy how good LLM are when you give it access to some tools such as ghidra headless, frida, etc.
