 # Zelos
-Zelos is a Python-based binary emulation platform. Linux x86, x86_64, ARMv7 and MIPS binaries are supported.
+Zelos (**Z**eropoint **E**mulated **L**ightweight **O**perating **S**ystem) is a python-based binary emulation platform. One use of zelos is to quickly assess the dynamic behavior of binaries via command-line or python scripts. All syscalls are emulated to isolate the target binary. Linux x86_64 (32- and 64-bit), ARM and MIPS binaries are supported.
