x64dbg
An open-source user mode debugger for Windows. Optimized for reverse engineering and malware analysis.
Several months have passed since the last part was posted. Maintainers of x64dbg have continued to improve its functionality. They also opened a task to update the development tools. So in this post, we will continue the analysis based on commit f518e50 code and, where possible, we'll compare it with the commit 9785d1a, which is accurate at the time of writing.

xray-16
Improved version of the X-Ray Engine, the game engine used in the world-famous S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game series by GSC Game World. Join OpenXRay! ;)

keystone
Keystone assembler framework: Core (Arm, Arm64, Hexagon, Mips, PowerPC, Sparc, SystemZ & X86) + bindings (by keystone-engine)
Sorry for the late answer. Yes, there is. We hoped a Keystone-based[1] plugin would be a better alternative since it's based on the LLVM code, but the project looks abandoned now[2].

dosbox-staging
DOSBox Staging is a modern continuation of DOSBox with advanced features and current development practices.
DOSBox Staging has the best CRT emulation I've seen. It really feels like going back to a VGA monitor.
See the screenshots on https://dosbox-staging.github.io/

Project mention: Revng translates (i386, x86-64, MIPS, ARM, AArch64, s390x) binaries to LLVM IR | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-12
Usually such things are called lifters. Wonder how this tool compares to other existing LLVM IR lifters, such as remill[0] and rellume[1].

Project mention: Intel Releases x86-SIMD-sort 6.0 for 10x faster AVX2/AVX-512 Sorting | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-11-06
https://github.com/intel/x86-simd-sort/releases/tag/v6.0 :
> Release 6.0 introduces several key enhancements to our software. The update brings new APIs for partial sorting of key-value pairs, along with comprehensive AVX2 support across all routines. Additionally, PyTorch now leverages AVX-512 and AVX2 key-value sort routines to boost the performance of `torch.sort` and `torch.argsort` functions by up-to 10x (see pytorch/pytorch#127936).

nyxstone
Nyxstone: assembly / disassembly library based on LLVM, implemented in C++ with Rust and Python bindings, maintained by emproof.com
Another good replacement for capstone/keystone based on LLVM is nyxstone https://github.com/emproof-com/nyxstone

Capstone supports an impressive breadth of architectures. However, if all you need is x86/ARM64 decoding and disassembly, there are much higher quality (in terms of accurate decoding) libraries out there.
I wrote a differential fuzzer for x86 decoders a few years ago, and XED and Zydis generally performed far better (in terms of accuracy) than Capstone[1]. And on the Rust side, yaxpeax and iced-x86 perform very admirably.
