Vx32 Description

Vx32 - Portable, efficient, and safe execution of untrusted x86 code Vx32 is a user-mode library that can be linked into arbitrary applications that wish to create secure, isolated execution environments in which to run untrusted extensions or plug-ins implemented as native x86 code.Vx32 is similar in purpose to the Java or .NET virtual machines, but it runs native x86 code, so plug-ins can be written in ANY language, not just Java or C#.Vx32 runs on unmodified x86 FreeBSD, Linux, and Mac OS X systems without special permissions, privileges, or kernel modules.It also runs on x86-64 Linux systems. Ports to x86-64 Mac OS X and FreeBSD should not be difficult.NOTE: Vx32 is licensed and distributed under the terms of the Lesser GNU Public License (LGPL). Vx32 is a stable research prototype, but it has not been through any formal security audits or any other verification. Such a review would be essential before trusting vx32 to handle malicious code in the wild. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
