Members of the FBI’s InfraGard program, as well as law enforcement and U.S. government personnel, now have access to an e-tool that analyzes malware samples. Malware Investigator users can upload malware files and, “within as little as an hour, receive detailed technical information about what the malware does and what it may be targeting.” According an FBI spokesperson, Malware Investigator is designed to analyze threats based on file hashes, correlation, comparison, virus scanning, and sandboxing. The FBI has also developed an API for partner organizations that want to integrate the service into their own systems.
