x86 shellcode detection and emulation

libemu is a small library written in C offering basic x86 emulation and shellcode detection using GetPC heuristics. Intended use is within network intrusion/prevention detections and honeypots.

libemu supports:

  * executing x86 instructions
    * reading x86 binary code
    * register emulation
    * basic FPU emulation
  * shellcode execution
    * shellcode detection
      * using GetPC heuristics
      * static analysis
      * and binary backwards traversal
     * Win32 API hooking

Using libemu one can:

  * detect shellcodes
  * execute the shellcodes
  * profile shellcode behaviour
