Reverse engineer in Binary Ninja — HLIL/MLIL/LLIL inspection, strings/imports/exports, cross-references, types, patching, Python API automation, and the optional MCP/HTTP bridge. Load when the user picks Binary Ninja, when its IL levels materially help data-flow analysis, or when IDA/Ghidra/radare2 results need an independent cross-check. Signals: "binaryninja", HLIL/MLIL, BinaryView scripting, Vector 35, localhost:9009 bridge.

# Binary Ninja reverse engineering
## When it applies
You're analyzing an in-scope binary (`scope.txt` / client-owned / your own sample —
`tradecraft-scope-roe`) and Binary Ninja is the chosen tool, its intermediate languages genuinely help
(SSA-form data-flow questions), or a high-impact conclusion from `reverse-eng-ida`,
`reverse-eng-ghidra`, or `reverse-eng-radare2` deserves a second decompiler's opinion. Binary Ninja is
commercial software — it needs a valid Vector 35 license, installed by the user.
## Why it works
Binary Ninja lifts every function into layered ILs — LLIL close to the machine, MLIL in SSA form
(variables versioned, so data flow is explicit), HLIL close to source. Questions like "where does this
attacker-controlled value come from" become IL queries instead of manual register tracking, and the
whole analysis is scriptable through one Python `BinaryView` API.
