SentinelOne® and Intezer Team to Simplify Reverse Engineering of Rust Malware>
Market Screener –
SentinelOne and Intezer have launched a joint project called OxA11C to address the challenges of reverse engineering Rust malware
The project aims to develop a methodology and open-source tools to help threat researchers better understand and characterize the complex malware ecosystem before it becomes a critical issue for the industry
Key points:
1) Rust malware is difficult to reverse engineer due to the language’s features, such as memory safety, aggressive compiler optimizations, borrowing, and intricate types and traits.
2) SentinelLabs researchers previously developed a methodology called ‘AlphaGolang’ to address the rise of Go malware, which revealed that reversing engineering Golang malware can be easier than malware written with traditional programming languages.
3) Drawing on insights from AlphaGolang, the OxA11C project aims to provide clarity into the true size of the Rust malware ecosystem and equip reverse engineers with tools to tackle the problem.
4) The project’s details will be unveiled at Black Hat 2024, and the security community is encouraged to contribute to the initiative.
5) SentinelLabs is an open venue for threat researchers and vetted contributors to share their latest findings with the wider community of defenders, focusing on malware, exploits, APTs, and cybercrime across all platforms.
6) Intezer is a leading provider of AI-powered technology for autonomous security operations, offering an Autonomous SOC Platform designed to investigate incidents, make triage decisions, and escalate findings about serious threats
The OxA11C project represents a collaborative effort between SentinelOne and Intezer to empower organizations to stay ahead of attackers by taming the complexities of Rust malware and providing the necessary tools and insights to the security community.
