🦀 Looking for Rust malware samples to practice analyzing? Our Rust Malware Sample Gallery just received a major update, with 20 new families added! https://github.com/decoderloop/rust-malware-gallery
The Sample Gallery collects links to articles about malware written in Rust, organizes them by malware family, and includes a download link to a publicly available sample for every malware family. This is a resource for any malware analyst who wants to get hands-on with real Rust malware.
The last time the Sample Gallery was updated was almost 2 years ago, in January 2024. Since then, there's been an explosive growth in new Rust malware, including all of the following families that are now in the Sample Gallery:
SPICA, KrustyLoader, RustDoor, SSLoad, Fickle Stealer, Cicada3301 Ransomware, RustyClaw, Embargo Ransomware, RustyAttr, Akira Ransomware (both the Akira_v2 and Megazord variants), Banshee (Rust variant), RALord Ransomware, RustoBot, Tetra Loader, EDDIESTEALER, Myth Stealer, Rustonotto, RustyPages, ChaosBot
This is nearly one new Rust malware family observed in the wild, every month. Rust as a programming language for malware is here to stay!

Just dropped: my RECON 2025 talk on Rust library recognition in malware! 🦀
I present RIFT—a tool that tackles one of the trickier problems in modern malware analysis, rust library recognition in malicious software.

Worth a watch if you're into RE or malware research.

Hello! Hello. It's #nakeddiefriday today, and I wanted to show you one of the older works. This is an automotive ASIC fabbed for Toyota, part number DF028. I do not know the function of this particular device.

My employer is doing a CTF and a lot of the remaining challenges involve #reverseengineering binaries. Any suggestions on a crash course I can put myself through to try and get some of these flags? The binaries are all Linux.

And hey, since the weather is absolutely abysmal today, I will treat you to another die shot as an extension of #nakeddiefriday.
This is КР1810ВМ86, an otherwise identical clone of Intel 8086 made by Soviets at an unknown plant.
The 8086 was extensively reverse-engineered by @kenshirriff -- give his blog a read!
