🚀 What is ZeroScout?

ZeroScout is a next-generation threat hunting framework designed for Incident Responders (DFIR), SOC Analysts, and Malware Researchers.

Unlike traditional antivirus scanners that act as a "Black Box", ZeroScout acts as a Cyber Defense HQ. It visualizes the attack surface in a live War Room, identifies the APT Group using genetic code analysis (ImpHash/SSDeep), and automatically generates YARA & SIGMA defense rules.

It operates in a Hybrid Architecture:

1. Local Hunter (Offline Mode): Uses advanced heuristics, entropy analysis, and Windows Defender bridging to detect 0-day threats without internet access.
2. Cloud Powered (Online Mode): Seamlessly integrates with the high-performance ZeroScout Cloud Engine for military-grade sandbox analysis.

⚡ Key Capabilities

🌍 1. Live War Room Visualization

ZeroScout scrapes C2 (Command & Control) IPs from the binary and visualizes the network traffic on a live ASCII World Map directly in your terminal.

See where the attack is coming from, in real-time.

🧬 2. Genetic Attribution (DNA Analysis)

New malware variant? ZeroScout analyzes the Code DNA (ImpHash) and TTP behaviors to identify the actor behind the file.

"This file is unknown, but its DNA matches Lazarus Group with 92% confidence."

🛡️ 3. Auto-Defense Architect

Stop writing detection rules manually. ZeroScout generates deployable defense codes instantly:

• YARA Rules: For endpoint scanning.
• SIGMA Rules: For SIEM correlation.

🔍 4. Mass Hunt Mode

Scan an entire directory (e.g., Downloads folder, USB Drive) in seconds. ZeroScout filters the noise and highlights only high-risk artifacts with specific reasons (e.g., "High Entropy", "Process Injection").

📸 Intelligence Dashboard (Demo)

ZeroScout provides a comprehensive, interactive terminal dashboard combining multiple intelligence streams.

🎥 Live War Room Feed (Video/GIF Demo Recommended)

Due to the dynamic nature of the dashboard, it is highly recommended to showcase this feature using a video or GIF in your README.

📦 Installation

Installing this project as a Python package automatically installs all dependencies and makes the CLI tool ready to use.

# 1. Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/SUmidcyber/ZeroScout.git
cd ZeroScout

# 2. Install dependencies (Kurulum için burayı kullan)
# Bu, ZeroScout'u sisteminizde bir komut olarak erişilebilir kılar.
pip install .

# Veya sadece test için:
# pip install -r requirements.txt 

# 3. Ready to hunt!
python -m zeroscout.cli scan "malware.exe"

🎮 Usage Guide

1. Deep Analysis (Zero-Day Hunting)

Analyze a single file to open the War Room and generate defense rules.

python -m zeroscout.cli scan "C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\suspicious.exe"

2. Mass Hunting (Directory Scan)

Quickly scan a folder to find hidden threats among thousands of files.

python -m zeroscout.cli scan "C:\Windows\System32"

3. Connect Cloud Engine (Optional - API Key)

ZeroScout Cloud Engine'i kullanmak için ZEROSCOUT_API_KEY ortam değişkenini ayarlamanız gerekir. Anahtar bulunamazsa, sistem otomatik olarak Yerel Avcı Moduna geçer.

# Windows (PowerShell)
$env:ZEROSCOUT_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"

# Linux / Mac
export ZEROSCOUT_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"
