libemu is a small library written in C offering basic x86 emulation and shellcode detection using GetPC heuristics. It is designed to be used within network intrusion/prevention detections and honeypots. [1]
Here are some useful information that might help you to build and compile libemu on Ubuntu machine:
- Install some dependencies for the building process
sudo apt-get install build-essential git-core autoconf libtool python-dev |
- Obtaining libemu via Git
cd /tmp/
git clone git://git.carnivore.it/libemu.git |
- Configure and install
cd /tmp/libemu/
autoreconf -v -i
./configure --enable-python-bindings --prefix=/opt/libemu
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig -n /opt/libemu/lib |
Now install the pylibemu, the python wrapper for the Libemu library
- Install some dependencies for the building process
sudo apt-get install python-dev python-setuptools |
- Obtaining pylibemu via Git
cd /tmp/
git clone https://github.com/buffer/pylibemu.git |
- Build and install
cd /tmp/pylibemu/
sudo sh -c "echo /opt/libemu/lib > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/pylibemu.conf"
python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install |
Yerp.. you are good to go.
