Since it's not completely spelled out in the article, MASM was (is?) the Microsoft Macro Assembler. This is an x86 assembler that's been around since pretty much the beginning of the architecture.

Yes, it still is. It's no longer supplied separately and instead is included in Visual Studio (or in the "Build Tools for Visual Studio"), but it is still there. Newer, 64-bit, version is called ML64 but still referred to as MASM/Macro Assembler.

well, it kinda/sorta is? https://www.masm32.com/

Though that's just about as unofficial as it gets!

I rather use the official one on the Windows SDK.
