Malware analysis tools to extract patterns of interest from files and crack obfuscation such as XOR

Project description

Balbuzard

[Balbuzard](http://www.decalage.info/python/balbuzard) is a package of malware analysis tools in python to extract patterns of interest from suspicious files (IP addresses, domain names, known file headers, interesting strings, etc).

It can also crack malware obfuscation such as XOR, ROL, etc by bruteforcing and checking for those patterns.
