winVpwn

Run Linux ELF binaries on Windows without WSL, a VM, or Docker.

winVpwn is a compatibility layer that makes the core of pwntools usable natively on Windows. It loads Linux ELF binaries into an in-process CPU emulator (Unicorn Engine), translates Linux system calls to Windows APIs, and exposes a virtual kernel with virtual processes, file descriptors, and a virtual filesystem.

Scope notice: winVpwn is designed for authorized environments only: CTF challenges, education, and software you own. It never touches your host filesystem or network unless explicitly mapped, and every simulated process runs below the privilege of the host process.

Quick start

$ pip install winvpwn
$ winvpwn doctor
$ winvpwn run hello_static
hello, winVpwn

Status

Stage 1 — infrastructure and the minimal executable path (in development):

  • ELF loader for static ET_EXEC x86_64 binaries
  • Unicorn execution loop with syscall interception
  • write, exit, exit_group syscalls
  • winvpwn run and winvpwn elf
