Installation

Requirements

There are some pre-reqs that are included in the pip setup and the requirements.txt

For all the decoders you will need yara and yara-python. For dealing with .NET malware you will need to install yara-python with dotnet support

yara-python with dotnet support
git clone --recursive https://github.com/VirusTotal/yara-python
python3 setup.py build --enable-magic --enable-dotnet
sudo python3 setup.py install

Install from pip

pip3 install --upgrade malwareconfig

Install from repo

git clone git@github.com:kevthehermit/RATDecoders.git
cd RATDecoders
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
python3 setup.py install

Current Rats

Here is a list of the currently supported RATS:

Upcoming RATS

Usage

Using the supplied command line tool malconf you can pass in a single file or a directory with the -r flag and it will attempt to automagically detect the family and extract any config.

You can also use the -o option to write results out to a file.

malconf

malconf -l This will list all the supported rats

malconf /path/to/sample This will automagically detect the family and run the decoder

from malwareconfig import fileparser
from malwareconfig.modules import __decoders__, __preprocessors__

# Open and parse the file
sample_path = '/path/to/sample.exe'
file_info = fileparser.FileParser(file_path=sample_path)

# Check for a valid decoder and then parse
if file_info.malware_name in __decoders__:
    module = __decoders__[file_info.malware_name]['obj']()
    module.set_file(file_info)
    module.get_config()
    conf = module.config
    pprint(conf)
