Guides writing high-quality YARA-X detection rules for malware hunting, covering naming conventions, string selection, performance tuning, migrations from legacy YARA, and reducing false positives when authoring, reviewing, or debugging signatures.

Yara Authoring helps security teams write precise YARA rules for threat detection and malware hunting by guiding string/tag management and metadata handling so signature creation keeps pace with investigations.

A comprehensive tool for performing static analysis on Android APK malware samples. It utilizes androguard, apktool, and jadx to detect dangerous permission combinations, suspicious API calls (like reflection or crypto), dynamic code loading patterns, and extract Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) for robust security incident response and threat hunting.

This skill provides a comprehensive workflow for detecting and analyzing malware persistence mechanisms on Windows systems. It automates the use of Sysinternals Autoruns via scripting to scan hundreds of Auto-Start Extensibility Points (ASEPs), including registry keys, services, scheduled tasks, and drivers. The process flags suspicious entries like unsigned binaries, suspicious paths, or dangerous command-line arguments, making it an essential tool for security incident response and threat hunting.

A comprehensive tool for detecting and analyzing covert communication channels used by sophisticated malware. It focuses on identifying anomalies in network traffic, such as DNS tunneling, ICMP exfiltration, and steganographic HTTP abuse, which are used for Command and Control (C2) communication and data exfiltration. Ideal for security incident response, threat hunting, and building advanced network detection rules.

This tool provides comprehensive analysis of the cybersecurity threat landscape using the Malware Information Sharing Platform (MISP). It allows users to query event statistics, analyze attribute distributions (IPs, domains, hashes), identify top threat actors and malware families, and track temporal trends. It is essential for SOC analysts performing incident response, threat hunting, and building advanced detection rules.

This script detects and analyzes sophisticated fileless malware techniques that operate entirely in system memory. It specializes in identifying threats that utilize Living Off the Land Binaries (LOLBins), WMI event subscriptions, and registry-resident payloads, bypassing traditional file-based security controls. It is ideal for forensic investigations, threat hunting, and building advanced detection rules in modern enterprise environments.

This skill leverages the VirusTotal API to perform comprehensive threat intelligence enrichment on file hashes (MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256). It retrieves detection rates from 70+ AV engines, behavioral sandbox reports, associated indicators of compromise (IOCs), and contextual threat data. Use this tool for rapid SOC triage, accurate incident response validation, and enhancing threat hunting workflows.

This skill provides a systematic methodology for investigating malware persistence mechanisms across Windows and Linux systems. It covers analyzing critical areas like the Windows Registry (SYSTEM, SOFTWARE, Run keys), Scheduled Tasks, and WMI artifacts. Use it during incident response, threat hunting, or digital forensics to ensure all unauthorized startup entries are found and remediated.

This comprehensive skill guides the process of rapid malware triage and classification using YARA rules. It covers advanced techniques for writing detection rules based on unique strings, specific byte sequences, and structural PE characteristics. It is essential for security analysts building automated detection pipelines, scanning endpoints, or performing large-scale threat hunting across an enterprise environment.

A comprehensive guide and workflow demonstrating how to use YARA rules for proactive threat hunting. This method helps detect unknown malware, suspicious patterns, and Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) across filesystems, memory dumps, and network artifacts, making it essential for incident response and security analysis.

This skill teaches the comprehensive process of developing precise YARA rules for malware detection. It covers techniques such as identifying unique byte patterns, analyzing strings, and inspecting PE file headers to create robust signatures. Ideal for security analysts performing threat hunting, incident response, and security auditing.
