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?

This feature of yara-x will simplify some of my rules. This is awesome!

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
