Why this tool?

SSMA is short for Simple Static Malware Analyzer. The tool can perform a set of tests against a malware sample and retrieve metadata from it. SSMA can analyze ELF and PE and analyze its structure. For example, it can retrieve the PE file header information and its sections. Other pieces it can analyze is the usage of packers, anti-debugging techniques, cryptographic algorithms, domains, email addresses, and IP addresses. It can also check if the sample is already detected or blocked by using VirusTotal and the blocklist of malwaredomains.com.

How it works

The tool is modular and depending on the file structures it can find, it leverages the related functions to perform more in-depth analysis.

Usage and audience

SSMA is commonly used for malware analysis, malware detection, malware scanning, or reverse engineering. Target users for this tool are malware analysts and security professionals.
