[Dailydave] Announcing metasm

[Thomas Ptacek]

I've learned not to benchmark ideas against MOSDEF; it's dispiriting.

The difference between my code and yours, apart from maturity and
originality, is that yours focuses on assembly language and mine
focuses on a class hierarchy for opcodes. I wanted to see how far I
could get using Python as a superficial IL for x86.

My goal isn't shellcode; it's process[or] manipulation. I used it to
write a debugger to run over firewire.
