MaltraceX

Check your system integrity and scan for malicious files

Features

• Take a snapshot of your system files.
• Windows Registry integration - Take snapshot of the entire registry or chosen keys and get notified about changes.
• Scan your system and compare against your old snapshot to figure out which changes were made.
• Determine which processes were spawned. Can run in whitelist mode to later check if new unrecognized processes were found.
• Capture network traffic using built in packet sniffer. Can run in whitelist mode to later check if new unrecognized IPs were contacted.
• Perform whois on unidentified IPs.
• Choose whether to compare found files with VT database to get detection report from dozens of AVs.
• Scan a specific file hash against Virus total database.
• Analyze the PE struct of a file.

Configure

• Change the scanning path in maltrace.conf to the path you would like to scan.
• Optional - add your VT api key.
• Adjust the registry scan by adding or removing paths in the config file.
