Dangerzone
Take potentially dangerous PDFs, office documents, or images
Dangerzone is a free, open-source document security application developed to make potentially malicious files safer to open. It converts untrusted PDFs, office documents, and images into sanitized PDF files through an isolated processing environment. The application first renders documents inside a sandbox to reduce exposure to malicious embedded content. It then transforms each page into raw pixel data and reconstructs a new PDF outside the sandbox. This process removes active elements such as embedded scripts and other potentially dangerous document structures. Dangerzone is especially useful for journalists, researchers, and professionals handling attachments from unknown sources. Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, it provides a straightforward method for reducing document-based security risks. -

YARA
The pattern matching swiss knife for malware researchers
YARA is a tool aimed at (but not limited to) helping malware researchers to identify and classify malware samples. With YARA you can create descriptions of malware families (or whatever you want to describe) based on textual or binary patterns. Each description, a.k.a rule, consists of a set of strings and a boolean expression which determines its logic. YARA is multi-platform, running on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X, and can be used through its command-line interface or from your own Python scripts with the yara-python extension. YARA-CI may be a useful addition to your toolbelt. This is GitHub application that provides continuous testing for your rules, helping you to identify common mistakes and false positives. If you plan to use YARA to scan compressed files (.zip, .tar, etc) you should take a look at yextend, a very helpful extension to YARA developed and open-sourced by Bayshore Networks. -

theZoo
A repository of LIVE malwares for malware analysis and security
theZoo is a project created to make the possibility of malware analysis open and available to the public. Since we have found out that almost all versions of malware are very hard to come by in a way which will allow analysis, we have decided to gather all of them for you in an accessible and safe way. theZoo was born by Yuval tisf Nativ and is now maintained by Shahak Shalev. theZoo’s purpose is to allow the study of malware and enable people who are interested in malware analysis (or maybe even as a part of their job) to have access to live malware, analyse the ways they operate, and maybe even enable advanced and savvy people to block specific malware within their own environment. Please remember that these are live and dangerous malware! They come encrypted and locked for a reason! Do NOT run them unless you are absolutely sure of what you are doing! They are to be used only for educational purposes. -

Botnet Detectors Comparer
Compares botnet detection methods
Compares botnet detection methods by computing the error metrics by reading the labels on a NetFlow file. The original NetFlow should have a new column for the ground-truth label, and a new column with the prediction label for each botnet detection method. This program computes all the error metrics (TPR, TNR, FPR, FNR, Precision, Accuracy, ErrorRate, FMeasure1, FMeasure2, FMeasure0.5) and output the comparison results. It also ouputs a png plot. The program can compare in a flow-by-flow basis, or it can apply our new botnet detection error metrics, that is time-based, detects IP addresses instead of flows and it is weighted to favor sooner detections. See the paper for more details. -
