Zeek plugin to detect and decrypt XOR-encrypted EXEs
Zeek plugin to detect and decrypt XOR-obfuscated Windows EXEs.
The key used to XOR the file will be automatically discovered and used to XOR the file back to the original Window's executable. Once the file is deobfucated, it is passed back into the file analysis framework for further analysis.
.. code:: bash
git clone https://github.com/corelight/zeek-xor-exe-plugin.git cd zeek-xor-exe-plugin ./configure sudo make install
Now confirm that Zeek can see it:
.. code:: bash
zeek -N | grep Corelight
Corelight::XOR_Encrypted_PE_File_Seen - This notice will be generated when an
XOR'd Windows executable is discovered.
