REMnux v8 represents a structural modernization of a long-standing malware analysis distribution.

Technical highlights:
• Migration to Ubuntu 24.04 (modern kernel + LTS support)
• Cast-based installer replacing legacy CLI deployment
• AI-assisted workflows via MCP server
• Integration support for Ghidra with AI plugins

Tooling refresh includes:
YARA-X (Rust rewrite for performance improvements)
GoReSym (symbol recovery for Go binaries)
APKiD (Android packer detection)
Manalyze (PE/ELF/MachO static parsing)
This release signals an industry shift toward AI-augmented reverse engineering pipelines.
Is AI-assisted RE the new baseline for threat labs?

Why is it so hard to get software over the last mile stone to make it usable for more than just me? I've a new #BinaryNinja ( #yarax ) plugin sitting in the wings needing to be polished for release and another release of #BinjaExtras with additional features close, but not close enough for release.

Know your tools 😉

Describe the bug
Parsing the sample with LIEF, YARA-X and pefile gives a different result for LIEF.
YARA-X and pefile agrees that those samples have exports, but LIEF says there is none.

Fwiw, #VT does not report them either - example: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/ffc89c701c4ab21f012eb8c69f01ca38ad6b011b5d4c56ed3237e937c49253d0

Nice movement on porting the Macho #YARA module over to #YARAX (the next implementation of Yara). Checkout Jacob’s blog here! https://latonis.github.io/yara-and-me
