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
This package has the Python bindings.
