analyzing-malware-family-relationships-with-malpedia

analyzing-malware-family-relationships-with-malpedia is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from andycungkrinx91/konoha. It costs 48 tokens per session (2,677 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of analyzing-malware-family-relationships-with-malpedia, MIT.

A guide to researching malware families with Malpedia, a shared database of malware names, related variants, threat groups, reports, and detection rules. It also covers using the service's API and YARA rules, which describe patterns used to find malware.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to identify malware families, follow variant changes, connect samples with threat actors, and retrieve YARA rules for detection.
Why use it?
Malware often has multiple names and changing variants, making relationships difficult to track. Linking families and variants gives investigations more context and supports consistent detection.

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

analyzing-malware-family-relationships-with-malpedia scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured today.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/agent.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Analyzing Malware Family Relationships with Malpedia

Overview

Malpedia is a collaborative platform maintained by Fraunhofer FKIE that catalogs malware families with their aliases, YARA rules, threat actor associations, and reference reports. With over 2,600 malware families documented, it serves as the definitive resource for understanding malware lineages, tracking variant evolution, and linking malware to specific threat groups. This skill covers querying the Malpedia API, mapping malware family relationships, extracting YARA rules for detection, and building intelligence on malware ecosystems used by adversaries.

When to Use

  • When investigating security incidents that require analyzing malware family relationships with malpedia
  • When building detection rules or threat hunting queries for this domain
  • When SOC analysts need structured procedures for this analysis type
  • When validating security monitoring coverage for related attack techniques

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.9+ with requests, yara-python, stix2 libraries
  • Malpedia API key (register at https://malpedia.caad.fkie.fraunhofer.de/)
  • Understanding of malware classification and naming conventions
  • Familiarity with YARA rule syntax for detection
  • Access to malware samples for validation (optional)

Key Concepts

Malpedia Data Model

Malpedia organizes malware into Families (e.g., "win.cobalt_strike"), each containing: aliases (vendor-specific names like "Beacon", "CobaltStrike"), YARA rules (community and vendor-contributed), actor associations (threat groups using the family), reference reports (CTI reports documenting the family), and sample hashes (representative samples for each variant).

Malware Family Naming

Malpedia uses the format platform.family_name (e.g., win.emotet, elf.mirai, apk.flubot). Platforms include win (Windows), elf (Linux), apk (Android), osx (macOS), and py (Python). This standardized naming resolves the "many names" problem where different vendors assign different names to the same malware.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
