Assemblyline
Communications Security Establishment Canada,
Oct 23, 2017
This is a lovely piece of open source software just released by Communications Security Establishment Canada (CSEC) (and that's a sentence I never thought I would ever be writing in this newsletter). It's basically a set of connected Python applications that runs files through a series of virus and malware checks. It uses its own functions and also imports functions from services such as Kapersky and Symantic. It even opens up Java jar files and looks for problematic code. It's probably a bit much for an individual to install and run (though they could) but will be especially useful for corporations, institutions and service providers. Assemblyline is available on BitBucket and is licensed under the MIT license. Coverage on CBC.
