Scripting the disassembler: Local agentic reverse engineering through vbdec’s live COM object model
Read original article ↗AI Summary
The article discusses a novel approach to reverse engineering VB6 binaries by leveraging vbdec's live COM object model, enabling AI agents to automate analysis without modifying the core tool. By exposing its parsed project data through the Windows Running Object Table (ROT), vbdec allows local AI agents like Claude Code to interact with and query the disassembler programmatically. This method supports scalable, repeatable, and exhaustive analysis tasks such as decompilation, call graph generation, and database export, all performed locally without uploading sensitive binaries. The technique demonstrates how existing tools can be transformed into queryable services through structured data exposure and simple scripting interfaces.
