Instead of simply encrypting the code, Enigma introduced a virtual machine (VM) architecture. It converted standard x86 assembly instructions into a proprietary bytecode format that could only be executed by a custom interpreter embedded within the protected file. Because standard decompilers (like IDA Pro or Ghidra) cannot understand this custom bytecode, reverse engineering the virtualized code becomes incredibly time-consuming. 2.
