A user-mode x86_64 binary emulator for inspecting programs, tracing syscalls, and safely running untrusted software.

## What is Brovan? Brovan is an interactive x86_64 emulator that gives you full control over how programs execute. It can be used to reverse engineer binaries, trace API and system calls, capture network traffic, or run software in an isolated environment without executing it directly on your host CPU. It is designed to support as much software as possible while remaining a safe, efficient, and high-performance option for running software across Windows and Linux. Brovan is still in early development, so it is not yet fully mature or reliable. Supported backends: * **Unicorn Engine** for cross-platform emulation * **WHP** (Windows Hypervisor Platform) for hardware acceleration on Windows * **KVM** (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) for hardware acceleration on Linux ## Core Features

MULTI-FORMAT LOADING

Load and execute binaries directly inside the emulator without host installation.

_{PE ELF Memory Dumps Raw Shellcode}

BROVVULK GRAPHICS LAYER

Custom Vulkan translation subsystem handling DXVK calls and game rendering.

_{DXVK DirectX Vulkan Surface}

SYSCALL & API TRACING

Inspect execution live to see what functions, DLLs, and kernel calls the program accesses.

_{Kernel Syscalls Symbol Resolving Loaded DLLs}

NETWORK DUMPING

Intercept guest socket traffic and export network activity for payload analysis.

_{Socket Intercept PCAP Capture Traffic Analysis}

## Previews & Demos ### Gaming & Graphics (Brovvulk) Brovan can render guest graphical applications through its Brovvulk translation subsystem. Here is a sample game i had (Deltarune), but it can work on many other games:

Deltarune Bring-up

Vulkan surface rendering via Brovvulk
DPI-aware host window integration
WHP acceleration for a smoother gaming experience

### Binary Execution & Tracing

Linux ELF on Windows
_{Running fastfetch cross-platform} Syscall Tracing
_{Live logs of API calls and dynamic symbols} Raw Binaries
_{Executing shellcode and memory dumps}

### Network Inspection
