Updates for BASS
Summary: Cisco Talos released a series of updates to BASS, its open-source framework for automatically generating antivirus signatures from clustered malware samples, first released last June. The changes add support for IDA Pro 7.0 and binexport 10 in a Docker container, improve handling of clusters with large numbers of samples, and include minor bug fixes; Talos reports BASS has been forked by 22 researchers in the past 10 months.
Key Takeaway: Talos cites the overwhelming number of samples collected daily, many of them malicious PE files, as the reason automatic signature generation matters - a volume that keeps analysts writing pattern-based signatures by hand in a constant race to cover new malware families.
