About Modsurfer
Modsurfer provides ops & dev teams with the first system-of-record and diagnostics application to search, browse, validate, audit, and investigate WebAssembly binaries. At-a-glance insights into WebAssembly module data (code size & complexity, imports/exports & more). Search for details about modules (hash, ID, function names, strings, namespaces, errors & more). Easily audit and track all the WebAssembly code in your stack. Debug & triage issues otherwise difficult to pinpoint in opaque WebAssembly format. Write or generate a "check file" to track binary requirements. If a module fails validation, a helpful report is created to get things back on track. Validate your modules for import/export existence, function signature, security compliance, runtime complexity, & more. The CLI puts all your Modsurfer data at your fingertips and is the easiest way to interact with the Modsurfer desktop or enterprise server.

WebAssembly
WebAssembly (abbreviated Wasm) is a binary instruction format for a stack-based virtual machine. Wasm is designed as a portable compilation target for programming languages, enabling deployment on the web for client and server applications.
The Wasm stack machine is designed to be encoded in a size- and load-time-efficient binary format. WebAssembly aims to execute at native speed by taking advantage of common hardware capabilities available on a wide range of platforms.
WebAssembly describes a memory-safe, sandboxed execution environment that may even be implemented inside existing JavaScript virtual machines. When embedded in the web, WebAssembly will enforce the same-origin and permissions security policies of the browser.
WebAssembly is designed to be pretty-printed in a textual format for debugging, testing, experimenting, optimizing, learning, teaching, and writing programs by hand. The textual format will be used when viewing the source of Wasm modules on the web.

Deno comes with a manual which contains more in depth explanations about the more complex functions of the runtime, an introduction to the concepts that Deno is built on, details about the internals of Deno, how to embed Deno in your own application and how to extend Deno using Rust plugins. Next to the Deno runtime, Deno also provides a list of audited standard modules that are reviewed by the Deno maintainers and are guaranteed to work with a specific Deno version. These live in the denoland/deno_std repository.
