To simplify access to and synchronization of Malpedia's automatically generated, code-based YARA rules, we have created the following repository on Github: github.com/malpedia/signator…
Fresh auto-generated YARA rules (courtesy of @fxb_b) are now live on Malpedia and GitHub. This round brings 42 new rules and updates 1618 existing ones.

I wrote a blog post about MalpediaFLOSSed, a collection of ~4 million strings extracted from 1800+ malware families and upgrading its GUI plugin to work with IDA, Ghidra, and Binary Ninja at once! Kudos to @hyun____22 for Hyara, which pioneered such cross-tool compatibility!

🛠️ We added a basic WebUI to our malware strings lookup service. Give it a try at strings.malpedia.io
📣We updated "Malpedia FLOSSed". TL;DR: More data, cleaner Rust/Go/Dotnet strings, various tags! We also created a public web service to make this data more accessible: strings.malpedia.io, as well as an IDA plugin as a demo use case. Read more -> github.com/malpedia/malpedia…

Based on this, I updated the @TrellixARC Ghidra script to locally use this JSON file. Additionally, I wrote a script to query the Malpedia web service via the exposed API, which one can also host locally. The Ghidra scripts can be found here: github.com/advanced-threat-r…

I feel like this dump doesn't get enough credit. So I filtered all malware debug ascii/utf16 strings from it and included it in a YAR rule file. That's just one use-case for this awesome dump. There are lots of other interesting malware indicators in it that could be used in a different way. @malpedia @push_pnx #100DaysofYARA #malpedia
🛠️ We just published "Malpedia flossed": @Mandiant FLARE team's floss tool applied to all unpacked + dumped samples in @malpedia. Results: 35.645.324 raw strings, distilled to 2.137.276 unique strings from 1751 processed malware families - 400 MB JSON. -> github.com/malpedia/malpedia…

#BinaryNinja plugin that helps write #YARA rule strings based on a selection in the Disassembly view. Inspired by formatting used in #Yara_Signator @malpedia (highlighted in screenshot). gist.github.com/utkonos/0aa6… @push_pnx @vector35 @psifertex #100DaysofYARA
