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
