  "description_en": "Archived Trail of Bits executable lifter that translates 32- and 64-bit Linux ELF and Windows PE binaries into LLVM bitcode for analysis or recompilation. Control-flow recovery runs in mcsema-disass, which relies on IDA Pro to write a protobuf CFG, and mcsema-lift then translates instructions through the Remill library; the README lists most x86 and x86-64 integer, x87, MMX, SSE and AVX instructions plus subsets of AArch64, SPARC32 and SPARC64. Lifted bitcode can go through LLVM passes, KLEE or libFuzzer, or be compiled back into a runnable program.",

    "The archived repository is read-only. The README supports LLVM 9–11; v3.0.24 has prebuilt archives for Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04 amd64.",
    "Control-flow recovery requires IDA Pro 7.5+. The experimental DynInst frontend is unsupported. Builds need CMake 3.14+, Python 3.8 with protobuf and clang bindings, and pinned Remill and Anvill commits. macOS and Windows builds are experimental or untested.",
    "Inputs are analyst-supplied compiler-generated ELF or PE binaries. Limitations.md excludes packed, encrypted, obfuscated and self-modifying code and raw firmware blobs; it also notes exception and floating-point limitations.",
    "The repository includes Maze examples, prebuilt test CFGs and an encrypted Binary Ninja CI archive.",
    "AGPL-3.0; IDA Pro, Binary Ninja and LLVM retain their own terms."
