McSema is Officially Open Source!

Summary: Trail of Bits announced that McSema, its framework for analyzing and transforming machine-code programs to LLVM bitcode, is now open source. McSema supports translation of x86 machine code including integer, floating point, and SSE instructions, is permissively licensed under a three-clause BSD license, and was developed with DARPA sponsorship.

What's compelling: Machine-code-to-LLVM translation puts binary analysis and symbolic execution tooling in reach of any team willing to try the repository's build instructions and demos, rather than only those who could build it themselves.
