czcdr/dsh-plugin-rea

Install

dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-plugin-rea

What it does

Links the REA reverse-engineering toolchain into DSH. Version 2.x installs the runtime environment along with it, so you do not configure Node, JDK, or Ghidra by hand.

Features

• 2.x ships its own runtime: Node, REA CLI, JDK, and Ghidra configured in one pass
• Install the plugin → run the setup script once → restart dsh: three steps
• 1.x is the older version and only adapts configuration, requiring you to install rea and Ghidra yourself; it has moved to the v1 branch
• The capability differences between the two versions are fully documented

Good fit for

• You want to do reverse engineering in DSH without manually setting up a Ghidra environment
• You already use morluto/rea and want it in DSH
• You are new to reverse-engineering toolchains and want a one-step install

Advice

• Go straight to 2.x; do not migrate from 1.x
• The setup script only needs to run once; running it repeatedly may overwrite your configuration
• After installation, confirm the `rea` command is on PATH and runs before starting analysis

Cautions

• It downloads and installs relatively heavy dependencies such as JDK and Ghidra, which take disk space and time
• Use reverse-engineering tools only on your own or authorized targets
• A broken environment is troublesome to clean up; back up the system environment first
