Highlights
- Malcat's code analysis is not only powerful, it is also damn fast: you can analyze most files under a second! This makes it the perfect tool for quick inspections or malware triage.

- Leveraging its 50+ file format parsers, malcat can extract sub-files from archives and identify embedded objects within any file. A very useful feature for incident response and malware analysis.
- Malcat offers many view modes to focus on all aspects of the file. Inspect binary structures, naviguate through the CFG or have a higher-level look at the anomalies, you chose. You can also try our new DNA view!
- Leveraging a database of 2000+ malware families and millions of clean + library files, our Kesakode hash lookup service can help you identify malware, write better Yara rules and speed up your RE game. It can also works offline!
