This project originally started as an unrealized CTF task. I wanted to write a custom JIT compiler for a simple language. The challenge has since been abandoned (mostly because I started to work on it a day before the CTF 😅), but the core of it - the JIT compiler - has been extracted and is now being developed as a standalone project.

The goal of this project is to practice writing some Rust code as well as to study instrution encodings, and of course to reinvent the wheel :)

P.S. This project in no way is intended to be used in production (or anywhere close). If you're looking for something more serious, check some of these projects:

1. iced
2. yaxpeax-x86
3. dynasm-rs
4. zydis
5. nyxstone
6. keystone

1. A lot of inspiration was taken from this great project: juicebox-asm.
2. As a reference implementation I used LibJIT from SerenityOS.
3. As instructions encoding reference I used
