Offline Antivirus and Detection Tools
Yara
Install
sudo apt-get install -y yara
Prepare rules
Use this script to download and merge all the yara malware rules from github: https://gist.github.com/andreafortuna/29c6ea48adf3d45a979a78763cdc7ce9 Create the rules directory and execute it. This will create a file called malware_rules.yar which contains all the yara rules for malware.wget https://gist.githubusercontent.com/...3bed1f786b26a0654aa2f31/malware_yara_rules.py
mkdir rules
python malware_yara_rules.py
Scan
yara -w malware_rules.yar image #Scan 1 file
yara -w malware_rules.yar folder #Scan the whole folder
YaraGen: Check for malware and Create rules
You can use the tool YaraGen to generate yara rules from a binary. Check out these tutorials: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3python3 yarGen.py --update
python3.exe yarGen.py --excludegood -m ../../mals/
ClamAV
Install
sudo apt-get install -y clamav
Scan
sudo freshclam #Update rules
clamscan filepath #Scan 1 file
clamscan folderpath #Scan the whole folder
IOCs
IOC means Indicator Of Compromise. An IOC is a set of conditions that identify some potentially unwanted software or confirmed malware. Blue Teams use this kind of definition to search for this kind of malicious files in their systems and networks. To share these definitions is very useful as when malware is identified in a computer and an IOC for that malware is created, other Blue Teams can use it to identify the malware faster.A tool to create or modify IOCs is IOC Editor. You can use tools such as Redline to search for defined IOCs in a device.
Loki
Loki is a scanner for Simple Indicators of Compromise. Detection is based on four detection methods:1. File Name IOC
Regex match on full file path/name
2. Yara Rule Check
Yara signature matches on file data and process memory
3. Hash Check
Compares known malicious hashes (MD5, SHA1, SHA256) with scanned files
4. C2 Back Connect Check
Compares process connection endpoints with C2 IOCs (new since version v.10)
Linux Malware Detect
Linux Malware Detect (LMD) is a malware scanner for Linux released under the GNU GPLv2 license, that is designed around the threats faced in shared hosted environments. It uses threat data from network edge intrusion detection systems to extract malware that is actively being used in attacks and generates signatures for detection. In addition, threat data is also derived from user submissions with the LMD checkout feature and malware community resources.rkhunter
Tools like rkhunter can be used to check the filesystem for possible rootkits and malware.sudo ./rkhunter --check -r / -l /tmp/rkhunter.log [--report-warnings-only] [--skip-keypress]
PEpper
PEpper checks some basic stuff inside the executable (binary data, entropy, URLs and IPs, some yara rules).NeoPI
NeoPI is a Python script that uses a variety of statistical methods to detect obfuscated and encrypted content within text/script files. The intended purpose of NeoPI is to aid in the detection of hidden web shell code.php-malware-finder
PHP-malware-finder does its very best to detect obfuscated/dodgy code as well as files using PHP functions often used in malwares/webshells.Apple Binary Signatures
When checking some malware sample you should always check the signature of the binary as the developer that signed it may be already related with malware.#Get signer
codesign -vv -d /bin/ls 2>&1 | grep -E "Authority|TeamIdentifier"
#Check if the app’s contents have been modified
codesign --verify --verbose /Applications/Safari.app
#Check if the signature is valid
spctl --assess --verbose /Applications/Safari.app
