In recent years, we have open-sourced and contributed to several projects, and I would like to present you a selection of them with practical examples of their usage.
My team focuses on development around YARA - a great pattern-matching tool used by malware analysts all over the world. We are actively contributing to this tool and developing additional tools that make analysts' lives easier.
