Horus v4.0.0 adds persistent case analysis without changing the direct workflow: dropping a file onto the executable or running horus.exe sample.exe still analyzes it immediately.

Highlights:

  • Persistent Case Mode for up to 5,000 samples, with incremental refresh, verify, rebuild, prune, portable state, and offline HTML/CSV/JSON reports.
  • Exact duplicate groups for every file and explainable PE similarity clusters based on TLSH, imphash, Rich hash, and section layout.
  • Content-based direct analysis for files with any extension, including drag-and-drop and paths with spaces.
  • Explicit UNKNOWN and analysis_status output when evidence is unavailable, plus documented exit code 3 for incomplete results.
  • Opt-in network enrichment with --enrich; only hashes and extracted indicators are sent, never file contents.
  • Offline/cache-only Authenticode trust by default, with online revocation available through --online-trust.
  • Hardened report embedding, strict JSON parsing, bounded HTTP responses, atomic state/export writes, and CSV formula protection.

The three binaries target Windows 10/11 x64. They are not Authenticode-signed; verify downloads with SHA256SUMS.txt and GitHub artifact attestations.
