Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Interop-Bench: design and decision record

## The question

Can an agent make working software talk to something closed, using only what an outside engineer would have: samples, traffic captures and a live unit?

This is the work behind most of the index: LocalTuya, python-kasa, python-miio, opendbc, python-fitparse. Existing agent benchmarks measure neighbouring skills on binaries: crackmes (CrackMeBench), malware-style analysis (AgentRE-Bench), crypto (CREBench), function decompilation (DecompileBench and others) and reimplementation from an executable (ProgramBench, Behavior2Code). A search on 2026-11-04 found none that scores protocol or format inference by interoperation.

## Why not matching decompilations

This was the first idea, and it was rejected:

1. **Answers are public.** Decomp repositories are on GitHub, so models may have trained on them. A high score could mean recall, not skill.
2. **Copyright.** Targets are assembly and data from commercial games.
3. **Community.** Many decompilation maintainers oppose AI decompiling, and they are the people this index lists.
4. **It exists.** Projects such as bigyoshi51/decomp already publish results on this.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add alexgaoth/awesome-reverse-engineered/bench/DESIGN.md@sha256:421f60266df7a781

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261104.a55cd32, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
