Anyone aware of local AI-assisted tools for reverse engineering legacy .NET or VB6 binaries?
This might be a bit of a long shot, but I figured I’d ask here: is anyone aware of any AI-assisted tools (LLM-integrated or otherwise) that help with reverse engineering old abandoned binaries—specifically legacy VB6 or .NET executables (think PE32 GUIs from the early 2000s, calling into MSVBVM60.DLL, possibly compiled as p-code or using COM controls like VSDraw)?
I’ve tried using Ghidra, but don’t really know what I’m doing, and I’m wondering if there’s anything smarter—something that can recognize VB runtime patterns, trace through p-code or thunked imports, and help reconstruct the app’s logic (especially GUI drawing code). Ideally something that can at least annotate or pseudocode the runtime-heavy stuff for reimplementation.
