Silicon is a self-decompressing "threaded interpreter" for x64 Windows PCs. Refer to the docs subdirectory for more
detailed explanations on the concepts used.
You will need a command prompt or Powershell session with the x64 Visual Studio developer tools and NASM 2.16.01 or
greater on its PATH. Running nmake will build silicon.exe (the compressed binary) and silicon-debug.exe (an
uncompressed version with symbols).
The built binary is a compressed blob stuffed into an otherwise tiny executable. As such, its byte-wise entropy is well
north of the magical 7.2 and currently 10 different AV vendors on this site flag the file
as malicious.
