re-emulation

re-emulation is a skill for Claude Code from dslsdzc/rev-skills. It costs 36 tokens per session (3,186 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A way to run individual pieces of software code in an emulator when the original program cannot run in your environment. Unicorn provides CPU emulation, while Qiling adds more operating-system context; Capstone can decode machine code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for isolated function execution, unpacking assistance, anti-debugging research, or examining code for another architecture. It is not intended for programs that require full operating-system behavior such as networking or multithreading.
Why use it?
It lets you inspect or test code affected by a different processor, operating system, missing dependencies, or software protections without running the complete original program.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

re-emulation scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

模拟执行(Unicorn / Qiling)

何时使用 / 何时不用

  • 用:目标无法在本机运行(架构/OS 不匹配、无硬件、依赖缺失);脱壳辅助(把壳内解密例程摘出来模拟执行拿明文);反调试绕过(模拟器无调试器标记,见坑 2 的例外);单函数/单代码段隔离执行验证
  • 用:不需要完整 OS 语义(无进程/线程/网络栈依赖)的确定性任务
  • 不用:需要完整 OS 环境(多线程、网络栈、完整 API 语义)→ 用 QEMU 全系统([[re-fw-emulate]])或沙箱实跑([[re-sandbox]])
  • 不用:只需动态调试([[re-gdb]] / [[re-x64dbg]] / [[re-windbg]])
  • 不用:目标在本机就能跑——沙箱内直接跑更真实([[platform-tips]] 最高原则),模拟留给出不来环境的场景

工具准备

模拟执行属动态执行,默认沙箱 + 网络隔离([[platform-tips]] 最高原则);本技能三件套均为 pip 包,Linux/macOS/Windows 通用,WSL 内可直接用([[platform-tips]] WSL 分支)。

unicorn

  • 安装: pip install unicorn(Python 3)
  • 验证: python3 -c "import unicorn; print(unicorn.__version__)"
  • 版本: 2.x 为当前线(2.1.4 于 2025-09);2.x 钩子回调签名与 1.x 一致((uc, address, size, user_data)),pip 默认装 2.x;1.x→2.x 差异见 [[gotchas]]

qiling(依赖 unicorn / capstone / pefile,自动装)

  • 安装: pip install qiling(当前 1.4.x)
  • 验证: python3 -c "import qiling; print(qiling.__version__)"(纯 import 验证,零依赖;pip wheel 不含 examples/ 与 rootfs,跑示例需 git clone 官方仓库获取)

capstone(反汇编/解码输出用)

  • 安装: pip install capstone
  • 验证: python3 -c "import capstone; print(capstone.__version__)"

操作步骤

按顺序执行,每步记下结果;模拟产物(内存快照/明文段)sha256 存档([[re-triage]] 存证思路)。

  1. 场景判断

    • 目标是什么、模拟解决什么问题——脱壳辅助(壳的解密例程是单函数,模拟执行该例程即可得明文,不用完整跑壳)?反调试绕过(样本检测调试器但可能不检测模拟器,见坑 2)?无环境运行(架构不匹配/缺 OS)?
    • 选工具: 只跑代码段/单函数 → Unicorn(最小、可控);要文件/系统调用语义 → Qiling(自动处理系统调用);要完整 OS → 转 [[re-fw-emulate]]
  2. Unicorn 最小框架

    from unicorn import *
    from unicorn.x86_const import *
    CODE = bytes.fromhex("b8 2a 00 00 00 c3")      # mov eax, 0x2a; ret
    mu = Uc(UC_ARCH_X86, UC_MODE_32)
    mu.mem_map(0x1000, 0x1000)                    # 先映射一页(地址页对齐)
    mu.mem_write(0x1000, CODE)
    mu.reg_write(UC_X86_REG_ESP, 0x2000)          # 设好栈(不设 ESP 会崩)
    mu.emu_start(0x1000, 0x1000 + len(CODE))      # 执行到结束地址
    print(hex(mu.reg_read(UC_X86_REG_EAX)))       # 0x2a
    

    要点: 内存必须 mem_map(页对齐)再 mem_write;栈寄存器必须设;emu_start(begin, until) 的 until 要覆盖代码结束地址,否则跑到非法地址

  3. Qiling 全系统模拟

    from qiling import Qiling
    ql = Qiling(["rootfs/x8664_linux/bin/x8664_hello"], "rootfs/x8664_linux")   # 文件名以实际 rootfs 为准;examples/ 与 rootfs 需 git clone 官方仓库获取(pip 不含)
    ql.run()
    
    • rootfs: pip 不含 examples/ 与 rootfs,需 git clone qiling 官方仓库后取 qiling/examples/rootfs/(x8664_linux、arm_linux、x86_windows 等);自制 rootfs 时拷贝目标程序的 libc/ld-linux 与运行期文件进去
    • 文件/系统调用由 Qiling 接管(open/read/write 映射到 rootfs),比 Unicorn 省心(坑 1 的对策)
    • Windows 程序: Qiling(["sample.exe"], "rootfs/x86_windows")(该 rootfs 含 wine 基础环境,较重但可用)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

re-emulation is a skill published in the GitHub repository dslsdzc/rev-skills (50 stars, last pushed 11d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 36 tokens to every session and 3,186 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
