A MalChela 🦀 sighting in the wild

Still a work in progress but very happy with my GaZendo (gazebo/zendo) so far…

I’ve been working on improving the 3rd party integrations with MalChela (the updated release is coming soon). To really test the capabilities, I’ve been working through a bunch of the static analysis labs from FOR610.

It never ceases to amuse me when I wear this t-shirt and someone compliments it… then proceeds to tell me about their psychedelic experiences in the ‘80’s.

Sharing for the night crew. The MalChela YARA & Malware Analysis toolkit now has a GUI. But there’s much more than that. An updated fileanalyzer module, 15 new detections in mstrings and 3rd party tool integrations.

For fun I decided to run mStrings against an old WannaCry sample. Network IOC results were spot on! github.com/dwmetz/MalCh... #DFIR #MalwareAnalysis #Rust #MalChela

Added a function to MalChela to check for available updates. But you have to update first before the update function works. 🤣 #MalwareAnalysis #Rust #DFIR

Seeing these scrips run brings me joy. #DFIR #MalwareAnalysis #Python #YARA

I spent the better part of two and a half days building this wonderful #DnD #Lego set. At close to 3800 pieces it’s the largest I’ve done in a long time. The Beholder and the dragon are my favorites from the set. Next phase… LIGHTING.

What a terrible tease. #Lego #Poe

I’ve already set myself up with a nice portable station for practicing. If you’ve got any recommendations on beginner resources I’d love to hear them.

It’s been chilly in the office so I brought in the electric fireplace. Someone wasted no time in taking advantage of the coziness.

I wasn’t expecting this in the Google news feed this morning. 🪦

As a way to introduce myself, I’d like to share one of my favorite #DIY projects, the #LackRack. This setup began with four Ikea end tables and has since evolved. This is the center of my #DFIR and #MalwareAnalysis lab. Like me it’s a little bit #Steampunk and a whole lotta nerd.
