Description

### Details

Modern malware is increasingly becoming more complex and obfuscated, thus I think it is worthwhile to include tools/libraries to assist with general deobfuscation of executables, outside of the standard .NET deobfuscation and javascript deobfuscation tools we have.

Example List for PE files:
- d810 and/or d810-ng (https://github.com/joydo/d810 / https://github.com/w00tzenheimer/d810-ng)
- z3 (https://github.com/z3prover/z3)
- cvc5 (https://github.com/cvc5/cvc5)
- klee (https://github.com/klee/klee)
- triton (https://github.com/jonathansalwan/triton)
- gooMBA (https://github.com/HexRaysSA/goomba)
- Miasm (https://github.com/cea-sec/miasm)

Example list for additional javascript tools:
- restringer (https://github.com/HumanSecurity/restringer)
- synchrony (https://github.com/relative/synchrony)
- webcrack - (https://github.com/j4k0xb/webcrack)
- jsir (https://github.com/google/jsir)

Start by inspecting the existing .NET and JavaScript deobfuscation categories and their package definitions. Review the listed PE and JavaScript tools against the repository's packaging conventions; done means the new deobfuscation category and appropriate tool packages are represented consistently.
