IDA Pro 7.6 released
πŸ—£KindOne

The pricing has always confused me - Yes, its definitely worth that much, but i'd have to make at least the price of this software purely by what the program offers, and that will never be the case for anything I can imagine.

Not to even mention that there is an educational license, but they dont give it to students, that there is a home license which doesnt include the literal reason people use IDA over Ghidra, etc.

I really wonder if dropping a zero on those prices and getting a few thousand new customers would be so terrible.

The situation is still as pathetic as ever for non-commercial users. Cloud-based decompilers are a step backward into the always-online DRM of the 2000s. IDA Home feels less like a legitimate attempt to enter the hobbyist market than an excuse for Ilfak to keep whining when people keep pirating the pro version. "They could have used IDA Home instead!"... yeah, maybe if it wasn't crippleware.

Cuckoo Sandbox with Docker
Hello guys,

I want to ask if anyone has used cuckoo sandbox in Docker container? I've checked some github repos but cannot find something useful.

Just use pip in python

I've had difficulty getting it working in the past. Dunno if capev2 or panda.re have docker options (panda.re is qemu based so I doubt they do, possibly capev2)

That’s the reason i used cuckoo.cert.ee

VirusTotal Chi2
Hi all,

I'm currently teaching myself the basics of malware analysis for my final project at university and have been working on a script to automate some static analysis. In doing so I've been using the VT API and noticed some objects contain a Chi2 value. I think Chi2 is used to measure the difference in distribution of elements in a dataset, but I am unsure which distributions are being compared here? To be specific, I am referring the the Chi2 value referenced in the PEInfo Sections objects. I appreciate any help :)

So I think there are two different uses of the chi squared approximation algorithm here. I'll talk about each of them separately.

For the case of virus total, it looks like they're applying the chi-squared approximation algorithm to the entire file stream. The purpose of this calculation is similar to that of entropy and that it should help you determine whether or not a file is packed, encrypted, encoded, or obfuscated. The calculation is a little bit different than entropy, so It may help some machine learning models to differentiate between various specific packing, encryption, encoding, or obfuscation techniques. I don't have an intuitive sense of what values of chi-squared are more or less indicative of malware like I do entropy.

There was another research article that was posted a while back that used the chi squared approximation calculation to measure distance between the expected PE header fields of legitimate files to the file that's currently being looked at. The assumption being that the further the distance between the two data sets, as represented by the chi squared approximation value, the more likely the file is to be malicious.

From a machine learning perspective, the chi squared approximation almost seems to be a way of doing data compression on the initial feature set. As opposed to having a separate feature for each PE header field in the machine learning model, the features are compressed into a single chi squared approximation calculation and that's what's fed into the model. The purpose of doing that would be to reduce the total number of calculations, and thus time, required to classify an individual file. For real time malware detection, extremely short analysis times are required.

Creating/ Extracting an Amazon Firestick image
I don't know where to start about creating/ extracting an image of an Amazon Firestick. I want the image so I can examine the artefacts stored on it through FTK/Encase.

Any help would be appreciated.

You won't get a physical, but you can get a file system. Enable wireless debugging in your Firestick settings. Your computer and Firestick need to be connected to the same network.

Grab the IP address of the Firestick, download ADB as well.

Of the top of my head, I think it's adb tcpip 5555

Adb connect toyouripaddressofFirestick

You'll need to grab it wirelessly
