OWASP Web Malware Scanner Tool Project

The OWASP Web Malware Scanner is a malware scanner for web applications. The goal is to be able to scan a web application using a community driven signature database. The Web Malware Scanner works by scanning each files of the web application for known malwares.

The Web Malware Scanner is not a vulnerability scanner, it is a malware scanner used to identify compromised web application installations.

The deliverable is a python application.

Description

Web Malware Scanner is a simple malware scanner for web applications. It can be used to identify compromised Wordpress, Joomla and other popular web application installations.

The Web Malware Scanner will scan each files and compare them to the Web Malware Scanner's signature database. Each file is scanned for any known malware MD5 checksum and also for any malware patterns using YARA rules. Finally, the scan will look for insecure permissions for every files and folders.

The goal of the OWASP Web Malware Scanner Project is to have a community driven signature database. You are more than welcome to contribute to this project by sending us new malware signatures.

Features

  • Support for Windows, Linux and MacOS
  • Over 500 000 malware MD5 hashes
  • Over 500 YARA ruleset databases
