Vol1-Mod1.4WoW64-Slide3 - Emulator vs Subsystem #14
Comments
Yes, and this emulator is also known as subsystem. "In computing on Microsoft platforms, WoW64 (Windows 32-bit on Windows 64-bit) is a subsystem of the Windows operating system capable of running 32-bit applications on 64-bit Windows." - via Wikipedia "Dive deep into the WOW64 subsystem and see how malware abuses Heavens Gate" - FireEye's tweet Just Google for more if you need. |
AFAIU WoW64 is an emulator not a subsystem.
Microsoft itself defines WoW64 as an emulator :

... while it advertises WSL as a subsystem :
