5.6 Sol has happily reverse engineered and decompiled binaries for me.

Heck it has proactively asked me if I wanted it to tear apart APKs that remote control some HW I have.

Yeah Astra has decompiled binaries for me without even asking. I just asked like "is there a way to do this?" and it went ahead and disassembled it, found some undocumented APIs, figured out how they worked and gave me sample code to call them.

I think you probably just have to frame things right and get it in the mood (i.e. don't ask straight up at the start of the context).

For me as well. I had it reverse engineer my monitor’s firmware to see if i could add a feature which it seems like it can… i am just too scared i might brick my monitor to actually flash it now :)
