A simple Python-based malware scanner that detects malicious files by comparing their hashes against known malware hashes.
Simple Malware Scanner written in python
This tool is primarily used during incident response to quickly identify suspicious or malicious files on endpoints by scanning directories and comparing file hashes. Security analysts and incident responders can use it to locate and verify malware presence across systems, especially when investigating newly found or suspicious files.
This is a demo and basic version intended for modification and customization; it is not a complete malware scanner solution. Users should adapt the code to their environment and update malware hash databases regularly. Best used as a supplementary tool during incident response rather than a standalone endpoint protection solution.
