To stay ahead of the ever-evolving landscape of malware techniques, we have released the ThreatPulse package. This continuously updated package is available for all Cerbero Suite licenses through Cerbero Store.

PowerShell Malware with x64 Shellcode
This malware gives us a chance to see the recently introduced Silicon Shellcode Emulator in action.

OneNote Malware With ISO File
We recently stumbled upon this tweet by @Cryptolaemus1 about a malicious OneNote document with an embedded ISO file. Because of our recently released ISO Format package, we thought it would be interesting to analyze this malware sample with Cerbero Suite.
SHA256: 2B0B2A15F00C6EED533C70E89001248A0F2BA6FAE5102E1443D7451A59023516
The unidentified embedded object in the OneNote document is an ISO file.
Reversing Complex PowerShell Malware
In this post we’re going to analyze a multi-stage PowerShell malware, which gives us an opportunity to use our commercial PowerShell Beautifier package and its capability to replace variables.
Sample SHA2-256: 2840D561ED4F949D7D1DADD626E594B9430DEEB399DB5FF53FC0BB1AD30552AA
Interestingly, the malicious script is detected by only 6 out of 58 engines on VirusTotal.
RedLine Stealer Dropper
An interesting sample containing a number of different obfuscation techniques. In this article we analyze the dropper in detail and reach the final stage.
SHA256: 0B93B5287841CEF2C6B2F2C3221C59FFD61BF772CD0D8B2BDAB9DADEB570C7A6
The first file we encounter is a OneNote document. If the “OneNote Format” package is installed, all files are automatically extracted.
Simple Batch Emulator Package
To help in the analysis of malware which uses Windows batch scripts we just released a package on Cerbero Store called “Simple Batch Emulator”. The name of the package is self-explanatory as it provides a basic emulator for batch scripts. The package is available to all commercial licenses of Cerbero Suite Advanced.
The following is a malicious OneNote document. All embedded files are automatically extracted thanks to the “OneNote Format” package.
Two of the embedded files are batch scripts. We can execute the action to emulate the obfuscated batch code.
Video: Blitz 45 Seconds OneNote Malware Analysis
The malicious OneNote sample analyzed in this video contains an executable. The executable contains a CAB archive in a resource entry. The CAB archive contains a VBS script which can directly be inspected in Cerbero Suite.

OneNote Format Support
Microsoft OneNote is rising in popularity as a vector for malware. Therefore, all commercial licenses of Cerbero Suite can now download our “OneNote Format” package from Cerbero Store which parses the OneNote format and extracts embedded files.
Installing the package from Cerbero Store takes only a few mouse clicks.
Once the package is installed, you can directly inspect OneNote documents in Cerbero Suite and all embedded files are automatically extracted and ready to be inspected.
Sample Downloader Package
We have just released our Sample Downloader package and it is available for all licenses of Cerbero Suite Advanced.
While this is a simple package, we consider it extremely useful, as it allows to download malware samples by their hash. The package tries to download the requested samples from various supported intelligence services.
Check out the video presentation for a quick introduction!
Installing the Sample Downloader package from Cerbero Store takes only a few clicks. Once installed, you can go to the settings and enter your API keys for the supported intelligence services.
Video: Blitz XLS Malware Payload Extraction
The malware sample analyzed in this video uses VBA code to extract a payload contained in Excel spreadsheet cells.
SHA256: F00252AB17546CD922B9BDA75942BEBFED4F6CDA4AE3E02DC390B40599CE1740
The following is the Python code which mimics the VBA extraction code.
from Pro.SiliconSpreadsheet import *
from Pro.UI import proContext
v = proContext().getCurrentAnalysisView()
if v.isValid():
view = SiliconSpreadsheetWorkspaceView(v)
ws = view.getSpreadsheetWorkspace()
sheet = ws.sheetFromName("Final Offer")
col = SiliconSpreadsheetUtil.colIndex("BS")
text = ""
for i in range(100, 701):
cell = sheet.getCell(col, i)
if cell.isEmpty():
continue
text += cell.value
print(text[::-1])
Note: the code must be executed while the spreadsheet is open in the analysis view.
