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 backwardstraversal
• win32 api hooking

Using libemu one can:

• detect shellcodes
• execute the shellcodes
• profile shellcode behaviour
