We had 9 LLMs battle on real-world #malware triage and static unpacking tasks, using only #Malcat MCP server.

We compared not only their results, but also their speed and cost.

Full write-up:

#Malcat 0.9.14 is out!

This is a maintenance build, with some bonuses:

● AccessDB parsing
● RAR unpacking
● UPX (static) unpacking
● Improved __noreturn detection
● ... and as usual, up-to-date signature, constants and Kesakode DBs.

Happy reversing!

In Malcat, hitting <Ctrl+M> will start the in-GUI MCP server (works in free version too). You can then interact with the current analysis using your LLM of choice.

Here I renamed functions and variables of the C2 dispatcher function for an unknown malware:

We're happy to announce that #malcat 0.9.13 is out!

You'll find a new Apple-silicon MacOS port, two integrated MCP servers (in-GUI +headless) for automated triage and an improved interface:

Quick peek at the upcoming 0.9.3 release. It will also feature a 100% headless MCP server for full and pro users.

Sometimes, the absence of signature match is also interesting. Here the hashtag#Chrysalis sideloaded dll, where we can quickly spot the few interesting functions.

Make sure to check "Show UNK" !

A quick update on Malcat's MacOS development (apple silicon):

A couple of visual glitches, but the analysis & UI are now functional \o/

#malcat 0.9.12 is out!

Enjoy .pyc and .net stack analysis, py 3.14 support, nuitka / inno 6.7 / .net singlefile bundle parsers and may other improvements:

0.9.12 is out: Python 3.14, PYC and .NET stack analysis

Malcat version 0.9.12 is out! This time we have focused on python and dotnet disassembly, with a new stack analysis that should improve their disassembly listing readability. We have also added support for python 3.14 and packed a large number of minor improvements.
