![]() ![]() Qemu usermode does similar thing, that is to emulate whole executable binaries in cross-architecture way. For this reason, Qiling can run excutable binaries that normally runs in native OS Qiling is designed as a higher level framework, that leverages Unicorn to emulate CPU instructions, but Qiling understands OS: it has executable format loaders (for PE, MachO & ELF at the moment), dynamic linkers (so we can load & relocate shared libraries), syscall & IO handlers.In short, Unicorn only emulates raw machine instructions, without Operating System (OS) context Beyond that, Unicorn is not aware of higher level concepts, such as dynamic libraries, system calls, I/O handling or executable formats like PE, MachO or ELF. Hence, it focuses on emulating CPU instructions, that can understand emulator memory. ![]() However, Qiling and Unicorn are two different beasts Qiling Framework is built on top of Unicorn. This section summaries the main differences. There are many open source emulators, but two projects closest to Qiling Framework are Unicorn & Qemu usermode.
