The tool was published as part of a research about Docker named pipes:
"Breaking Docker Named Pipes SYSTEMatically: Docker Desktop Privilege Escalation β Part 1"
"Breaking Docker Named Pipes SYSTEMatically: Docker Desktop Privilege Escalation β Part 2"
PipeViewer is a GUI tool that allows users to view details about Windows Named pipes and their permissions. It is designed to be useful for security researchers who are interested in searching for named pipes with weak permissions or testing the security of named pipes. With PipeViewer, users can easily view and analyze information about named pipes on their systems, helping them to identify potential security vulnerabilities and take appropriate steps to secure their systems.
Double-click the EXE binary and you will get the list of all named pipes.
We used Visual Studio to compile it.
When downloading it from GitHub you might get error of block files, you can use PowerShell to unblock them:
Get-ChildItem -Path 'D:\tmp\PipeViewer-main' -Recurse | Unblock-File
We built the project and uploaded it so you can find it in the releases.
One problem is that the binary will trigger alerts from Windows Defender because it uses the NtObjerManager package which is flagged as virus.
Note that James Forshaw talked about it here.
We can't change it because we depend on third-party DLL.
We want to thank James Forshaw (@tyranid) for creating the open source NtApiDotNet which allowed us to get information about named pipes.

Check out our Get Started guide for more details.
A cloud-hosted version is available on special request - email founders@zeuscloud.io to get access!
Play around with our sandbox environment to see how ZeusCloud identifies, prioritizes, and remediates risks in the cloud!
Cloud usage continues to grow. Companies are shifting more of their workloads from on-prem to the cloud and both adding and expanding new and existing workloads in the cloud. Cloud providers keep increasing their offerings and their complexity. Companies are having trouble keeping track of their security risks as their cloud environment scales and grows more complex. Several high profile attacks have occurred in recent times. Capital One had an S3 bucket breached, Amazon had an unprotected Prime Video server breached, Microsoft had an Azure DevOps server breached, Puma was the victim of ransomware, etc.
We had to take action.
We love contributions of all sizes. What would be most helpful first:
Run containers in development mode:
cd frontend && yarn && cd -
docker-compose down && docker-compose -f docker-compose.dev.yaml --env-file .env.dev up --build
Reset neo4j and/or postgres data with the following:
rm -rf .compose/neo4j
rm -rf .compose/postgres
To develop on frontend, make the the code changes and save.
To develop on backend, run
docker-compose -f docker-compose.dev.yaml --env-file .env.dev up --no-deps --build backend

In essence, the main idea came to use WAF + YARA (YARA right-to-left = ARAY) to detect malicious files at the WAF level before WAF can forward them to the backend e.g. files uploaded through web functions see: https://owasp.org/www-community/vulnerabilities/Unrestricted_File_Upload
When a web page allows uploading files, most of the WAFs are not inspecting files before sending them to the backend. Implementing WAF + YARA could provide malware detection before WAF forwards the files to the backend.
Yes, one solution is to use ModSecurity + Clamav, most of the pages call ClamAV as a process and not as a daemon, in this case, analysing a file could take more than 50 seconds per file. See this resource: https://kifarunix.com/intercept-malicious-file-upload-with-modsecurity-and-clamav/
:-( A few clues here Black Hat Asia 2019 please continue reading and see below our quick LAB deployment.
Basically, It is a quick deployment (1) with pre-compiled and ready-to-use YARA rules via ModSecurity (WAF) using a custom rule; (2) this custom rule will perform an inspection and detection of the files that might contain malicious code, (3) typically web functions (upload files) if the file is suspicious will reject them receiving a 403 code Forbidden by ModSecurity.
YaraCompile.py

Once the Yara Rules were downloaded and compiled.
It is similar to when you deploy ModSecurity, you need to customize what kind of rule you need to apply. The following log is an example of when the Web Application Firewall + Yara detected a malicious file, in this case, eicar was detected.

This code connects to a given MISP (Malware Information Sharing Platform) server and parses a given number of events, writing the IP addresses, URLs, and MD5 hashes found in the events to three separate files.
To use this script, you will need to provide the URL of your MISP instance and a valid API key. You can then call the MISPConnector.run() method to retrieve the attributes and save them to files.
To use the code, run the following command:
python3 misp_connector.py --misp-url <MISP_URL> --misp-key <MISP_API_KEY> --limit <EVENT_LIMIT>
The MISPConnector class currently supports the following attribute types:
If an attribute of one of these types is found in an event, it will be added to the appropriate set (for example, IP addresses will be added to the network_set) and written to the corresponding file (network.txt, hash.txt, or url.txt).
The code can be configured by passing arguments to the command-line script. The available arguments are:

sandfly-entropyscan
is a utility to quickly scan files or running processes and report on their entropy (measure of randomness) and if they are a Linux/Unix ELF type executable. Some malware for Linux is packed or encrypted and shows very high entropy. This tool can quickly find high entropy executable files and processes which often are malicious.
Entropy is a measure of randomness. For binary data 0.0 is not-random and 8.0 is perfectly random. Good crypto looks like random white noise and will be near 8.0. Good compression removes redundant data making it appear more random than if it was uncompressed and usually will be 7.7 or above.
A lot of malware executables are packed to avoid detection and make reverse engineering harder. Most standard Linux binaries are not packed because they aren't trying to hide what they are. Searching for high entropy files is a good way to find programs that could be malicious just by having these two attributes of high entropy and executable.
Usage of sandfly-entropyscan
:
-csv
output results in CSV format (filename, path, entropy, elf_file [true|false], MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA512)
-delim
change the default delimiter for CSV files of "," to one of your choosing ("|", etc.)
-dir string
directory name to analyze
-file string
full path to a single file to analyze
-proc
check running processes (defaults to ELF only check)
-elf
only check ELF executables
-entropy float
show any file/process with entropy greater than or equal to this value (0.0 min - 8.0 max, defaults 0 to show all files)
-version
show version and exit
Search for any file that is executable under /tmp:
sandfly-entropyscan -dir /tmp -elf
Search for high entropy (7.7 and higher) executables (often packed or encrypted) under /var/www:
sandfly-entropyscan -dir /var/www -elf -entropy 7.7
Generates entropy and cryptographic hashes of all running processes in CSV format:
sandfly-entropyscan -proc -csv
Search for any process with an entropy higher than 7.7 indicating it is likely packed or encrypted:
sandfly-entropyscan -proc -entropy 7.7
Generate entropy and cryptographic hash values of all files under /bin and output to CSV format (for instance to save and compare hashes):
sandfly-entropyscan -dir /bin -csv
Scan a directory for all files (ELF or not) with entropy greater than 7.7: (potentially large list of files that are compressed, png, jpg, object files, etc.)
sandfly-entropyscan -dir /path/to/dir -entropy 7.7
Quickly check a file and generate entropy, cryptographic hashes and show if it is executable:
sandfly-entropyscan -file /dev/shm/suspicious_file
Do spot checks on systems you think have a malware issue. Or you can automate the scan so you will get an output if we find something show up that is high entropy in a place you didn't expect. Or simply flag any executable ELF type file that is somewhere strange (e.g. hanging out in /tmp or under a user's HTML directory). For instance:
Did a high entropy binary show up under the system /var/www directory? Could be someone put a malware dropper on your website:
sandfly-entropyscan -dir /var/www -elf -entropy 7.7
Setup a cron task to scan your /tmp, /var/tmp, and /dev/shm directories for any kind of executable file whether it's high entropy or not. Executable files under tmp directories can frequently be a malware dropper.
sandfly-entropyscan -dir /tmp -elf
sandfly-entropyscan -dir /var/tmp -elf
sandfly-entropyscan -dir /dev/shm -elf
Setup another cron or automated security sweep to spot check your systems for highly compressed or encrypted binaries that are running:
sandfly-entropyscan -proc -entropy 7.7
git clone https://github.com/sandflysecurity/sandfly-entropyscan.git
go build
./sandfly-entropyscan
There are a some basic build scripts that build for various platforms. You can use these to build or modify to suit. For Incident Responders, it might be useful to keep pre-compiled binaries ready to go on your investigation box.
build.sh
- Build for current OS you're running on when you execute it.
We use a simple method for seeing if a file may be an executable ELF type. We can spot ELF format files for multiple platforms. Even if malware has Intel/AMD, MIPS and Arm dropper binaries we will still be able to spot all of them.
It's possible to flag a legitimate binary that has a high entropy because of how it was compiled, or because it was packed for legitimate reasons. Other files like .zip, .gz, .png, .jpg and such also have very high entropy because they are compressed formats. Compression removes redundancy in a file which makes it appear to be more random and has higher entropy.
On Linux, you may find some kinds of libraries (.so files) get flagged if you scan library directories.
However, it is our experience that executable binaries that also have high entropy are often malicious. This is especially true if you find them in areas where executables normally shouldn't be (such as again tmp
or html
directories).
The entropy calculation requires reading in all the bytes of the file and tallying them up to get a final number. It can use a lot of CPU and disk I/O, especially on very large file systems or very large files. The program has an internal limit where it won't calculate entropy on any file over 2GB, nor will it try to calculate entropy on any file that is not a regular file type (e.g. won't try to calculate entropy on devices like /dev/zero
).
Then we calculate MD5, SHA1, SHA256 and SHA512 hashes. Each of these requires going over the file as well. It's reasonable speed on modern systems, but if you are crawling a very large file system it can take some time to complete.
If you tell the program to only look at ELF files, then the entropy/hash calculations won't happen unless it is an ELF type and this will save a lot of time (e.g. it will ignore massive database files that aren't executable).
If you want to automate this program, it's best to not have it crawl the entire root file system unless you want that specifically. A targeted approach will be faster and more useful for spot checks. Also, use the ELF flag as that will drastically reduce search times by only processing executable file types.
For incident responders, running sandfly-entropyscan
against the entire top-level "/" directory may be a good idea just to quickly get a list of likely packed candidates to investigate. This will spike CPU and disk I/O. However, you probably don't care at that point since the box has been mining cryptocurrency for 598 hours anyway by the time the admins noticed.
Again, use the ELF flag to get to the likely problem candidate executables and ignore the noise.
There is a script called scripts/testfiles.sh
that will make two files. One will be full of random data and one will not be random at all. When you run the script it will make the files and run sandfly-entropyscan
in executable detection mode. You should see two files. One with very high entropy (at or near 8.0) and one full of non-random data that should be at 0.00 for low entropy. Example:
./testfiles.sh
Creating high entropy random executable-like file in current directory.
Creating low entropy executable-like file in current directory.
high.entropy.test, entropy: 8.00, elf: true
low.entropy.test, entropy: 0.00, elf: true
You can also load up the upx
utility and compress an executable and see what values it returns.
Sandfly Security produces an agentless endpoint detection and incident response platform (EDR) for Linux. Automated entropy checks are just one of thousands of things we search for to find intruders without loading any software on your Linux endpoints.

Visually inspect all of the regex matches (and their sexier, more cloak and dagger cousins, the YARA matches) found in binary data and/or text. See what happens when you force various character encodings upon those matched bytes. With colors.
pipx install yaralyzer
# Scan against YARA definitions in a file:
yaralyze --yara-rules /secret/vault/sigmunds_malware_rules.yara lacan_buys_the_dip.pdf
# Scan against an arbitrary regular expression:
yaralyze --regex-pattern 'good and evil.*of\s+\w+byte' the_crypto_archipelago.exe
# Scan against an arbitrary YARA hex pattern
yaralyze --hex-pattern 'd0 93 d0 a3 d0 [-] 9b d0 90 d0 93' one_day_in_the_life_of_ivan_cryptosovich.bin
'/.+/'
and immediately get a window into all the bytes in the file that live between front slashes. Same story for quotes, BOMs, etc. Any regex YARA can handle is supported so the sky is the limit.chardet
library is a sophisticated library for guessing character encodings and it is leveraged here.chardet
will also be leveraged to see if the bytes fit the pattern of any known encoding. If chardet
is confident enough (configurable), an attempt at decoding the bytes using that encoding will be displayed.The Yaralyzer's functionality was extracted from The Pdfalyzer when it became apparent that visualizing and decoding pattern matches in binaries had more utility than just in a PDF analysis tool.
YARA, for those who are unaware1, is branded as a malware analysis/alerting tool but it's actually both a lot more and a lot less than that. One way to think about it is that YARA is a regular expression matching engine on steroids. It can locate regex matches in binaries like any regex engine but it can also do far wilder things like combine regexes in logical groups, compare regexes against all 256 XORed versions of a binary, check for base64
and other encodings of the pattern, and more. Maybe most importantly of all YARA provides a standard text based format for people to share their 'roided regexes with the world. All these features are particularly useful when analyzing or reverse engineering malware, whose authors tend to invest a great deal of time into making stuff hard to find.
But... that's also all YARA does. Everything else is up to the user. YARA's just a match engine and if you don't know what to match (or even what character encoding you might be able to match in) it only gets you so far. I found myself a bit frustrated trying to use YARA to look at all the matches of a few critical patterns:
\".+\"
and \'.+\'
)/.+/
). Front slashes demarcate a regular expression in many implementations and I was trying to see if any of the bytes matching this pattern were actually regexes.YARA just tells you the byte position and the matched string but it can't tell you whether those bytes are UTF-8, UTF-16, Latin-1, etc. etc. (or none of the above). I also found myself wanting to understand what was going in the region of the matched bytes and not just in the matched bytes. In other words I wanted to scope the bytes immediately before and after whatever got matched.
Enter The Yaralyzer, which lets you quickly scan the regions around matches while also showing you what those regions would look like if they were forced into various character encodings.
It's important to note that The Yaralyzer isn't a full on malware reversing tool. It can't do all the things a tool like CyberChef does and it doesn't try to. It's more intended to give you a quick visual overview of suspect regions in the binary so you can hone in on the areas you might want to inspect with a more serious tool like CyberChef.
Install it with pipx
or pip3
. pipx
is a marginally better solution as it guarantees any packages installed with it will be isolated from the rest of your local python environment. Of course if you don't really have a local python environment this is a moot point and you can feel free to install with pip
/pip3
.
pipx install yaralyzer
Run yaralyze -h
to see the command line options (screenshot below).
For info on exporting SVG images, HTML, etc., see Example Output.
If you place a filed called .yaralyzer
in your home directory or the current working directory then environment variables specified in that .yaralyzer
file will be added to the environment each time yaralyzer is invoked. This provides a mechanism for permanently configuring various command line options so you can avoid typing them over and over. See the example file .yaralyzer.example
to see which options can be configured this way.
Only one .yaralyzer
file will be loaded and the working directory's .yaralyzer
takes precedence over the home directory's .yaralyzer
.
Yaralyzer
is the main class. It has a variety of constructors supporting:
.yara
file in a directorybytes
Should you want to iterate over the BytesMatch
(like a re.Match
object for a YARA match) and BytesDecoder
(tracks decoding attempt stats) objects returned by The Yaralyzer, you can do so like this:
from yaralyzer.yaralyzer import Yaralyzer
yaralyzer = Yaralyzer.for_rules_files(['/secret/rule.yara'], 'lacan_buys_the_dip.pdf')
for bytes_match, bytes_decoder in yaralyzer.match_iterator():
do_stuff()
The Yaralyzer can export visualizations to HTML, ANSI colored text, and SVG vector images using the file export functionality that comes with Rich. SVGs can be turned into png
format images with a tool like Inkscape or cairosvg
. In our experience they both work though we've seen some glitchiness with cairosvg
.
PyPi Users: If you are reading this document on PyPi be aware that it renders a lot better over on GitHub. Pretty pictures, footnotes that work, etc.

RPCMon can show you the RPC functions being called, the process who called them, and other relevant information.
RPCMon uses a hardcoded RPC dictionary for fast RPC information processing which contains information about RPC modules. It also has an option to build an RPC database so it will be updated from your computer in case some details are missing in the hardcoded RPC dictionary.
Double click the EXE binary and you will get the GUI Windows.
RPCMon needs a DB to be able to get the details on the RPC functions, without a DB you will have missing information.
To load the DB, press on DB -> Load DB...
and choose your DB. You can a DB we added to this project: /DB/RPC_UUID_Map_Windows10_1909_18363.1977.rpcdb.json
.
We want to thank James Forshaw (@tyranid) for creating the open source NtApiDotNet which allowed us to get the RPC functions.
