: Run optimization passes on the IR to remove "junk" instructions added by the mutation engine.
: This is the heart of the system. It reads the opcode at the virtual program counter (VIP), decides which handler to jump to, and executes a continuous fetch-decode-dispatch loop. vmprotect reverse engineering

To reverse engineer VMProtect-protected software, follow these steps: decides which handler to jump to
For example, a simple MOV EAX, 1 became:
He stared at the assembly. VM_Handler_0x01 , VM_Handler_0x02 ... He mapped the handlers manually. "It's modular arithmetic," he realized. "It's a Scalar Multiplication on a curve."
