+# CPU Security Emulator [x86]
+This is mostly a learning project for me. I am learning about the internals of a CPU and how it encodes/decodes instructions to produce the intended results.
+
+As of now, there are limitied features, and supported instructions are limited.
+
+See; <https://0xinfinity.dev/specs/emulator> for an exhaustive list of supported instructions and specific opcodes.
+
+## Planned emulator features
+- [ ] SIB Byte Support for existing and future instructions.
+- [ ] Execution Lock and Permission system for RAM.
+- [ ] Branch Prediction and Speculative Execution //Long-term plan
+- [ ] SIMD flattening (optional) and AV redirection (optional).
+- [ ] Buffer overflow prediction, detection, and reporting.
+
+## Planned architectural features
+- [ ] Better logging system
+- [ ] Comprehensive unit tests for each instruction.
+
+## Planned instructions
+TBD
+
+## Requirements
+- gcc
+Rest; TBD
