The Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) has publicly released its open‑source malware analysis tool called Azul.
Azul enables government and private sector partners to collaborate on threat understanding, quickly identify common malware behaviours, and improve the speed and precision of response activities. It provides 3 major capabilities including:
- Acting as a storage for malware and suspicious files to aid malware analysts and to share malicious files safely.
- Performing automated malware analysis, such as sandbox execution, config extraction and file carving.
- Correlation of different samples of malware that share similar functionality or c2 information.
Azul is highly scalable, browser based and built on industry-standard technologies. It combines a structured repository with plugins and tooling to extract metadata, perform binary analysis and support clustering of related samples.
Open‑source tools like Azul support the broader cyber threat intelligence ecosystem by enabling knowledge sharing, improving analytical practices, and building resilience against evolving malware threats.
