Reverse engineering binaries often involves hand tracing through code in order to develop an understanding of how a function behaves. In order to do this, you need a solid understanding of the instruction set you are analyzing and a handy reference to refresh your memory when you encounter an instruction that doesn’t look familiar. An instruction emulator can be a useful tool to track all of the register and CPU state changes that take place over a series of instructions. The ida-x86emu plug-in, which was discussed in detail in Chapter 21 and whose information is shown again here, is one such emulator.
