This project is a malware analysis tool designed to scan and detect suspicious code within files. It provides a framework for analyzing potential threats, identifying malicious patterns, and reporting on the findings.
The primary goal of this project is to develop a static and dynamic analysis engine to identify suspicious code constructs. This includes:
- Static Analysis: Scanning files for known malware signatures, suspicious strings, and obfuscation techniques without executing the code.
- Dynamic Analysis: Executing files in a sandboxed environment to monitor their behavior, including file system changes, network activity, and registry modifications.
- Reporting: Generating detailed reports of the analysis, highlighting potential threats, and providing confidence scores.
- Scanner: The main engine for scanning files and directories.
- Signature Database: A collection of known malware signatures.
- Sandbox: An isolated environment for dynamic analysis.
- Reporting Module: A tool for generating human-readable reports.
The project is built on a modular architecture that allows for easy extension and maintenance. The core components are:
- Frontend: A web-based interface for submitting files for analysis and viewing the results. (To be developed)
- Backend API: A RESTful API that exposes the core functionality of the malware analysis engine.
- Worker Nodes: A cluster of worker nodes that perform the actual analysis of the files. This allows for parallel processing and scalability.
- Database: A database for storing file hashes, analysis reports, and malware signatures.
For a more detailed breakdown of the architecture, please see the docs/architecture.md file.
