  Description     : a genetic binary trait lexer utility

Extract basic blocks and functions as traits from binaries for malware
research, hunting and detection. Use cases range from (automated)
YARA signature generation, identification of code reuse, creation of
a good- or malware trait corpus, genetic programming and ML-based
malware detection.

* Relevance of the package
Creating detection signatures or finding code reuse and code
similarity are important steps for understanding malware threats and
defending networks. Binlex helps to simplify and automate these tasks
by providing a C++-library and a utility program to extract binary
traits from binaries.

* Maintenance Plan
I suggest to maintain binlex inside the pkg-security-team's
repository on salsa, since most of the packages related to
security and forensics live there. I am looking for a sponsor
for this package -- ideally a member of the pkg-security-team.
