Australia's Cyber Agency Releases Azul, an Open Source Malware Analysis Repository
Think of it as a searchable, automated knowledge base for malware.
The Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) has released Azul, a malware analysis platform built for reverse engineers and incident responders. It is the first public release of the tool, which is now on v9.0.0.
ASD is Australia's signals intelligence agency, which operates under the Department of Defence. Its Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) handles national cybersecurity guidance and incident response.
Keep in mind that Azul is not a triage tool and does not identify whether a file is malicious. Samples should first be flagged using a tool like the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security's AssemblyLine before being fed into Azul.
