[Capstone-users] epic: bin to llvm

[Peter M. <p3t...@gm...>]

Hello,
I was looking at "Blackhat USA 2014 slides" and found a mention about 
something that interests me: "Epic: framework to translate binaries of 
any arch to LLVM bitcode". I watched a video of this presentation on 
youtube, where Nguyen Anh Quynh said that it is something he is working 
on, and that it is a work in progress.

So, I would like to ask if this is still true. Is someone working on it? 
If yes, how far is it? Can we hope for a release in some not so distant 
future? I think such a tool would come in handy in many projects.

I have been experimenting with both capstone and LLVM, and I'm thinking 
about writing some simple prototype (probably for MIPS) just to see what 
it takes. However, it would be a waste of time if there already is an 
almost finished implementation just around the corner.

thank for the reply
