Portable utility to check if a machine has been infected by Shamoon2
This utility uses a set of the Indicators of Compromise for the identified Shamoon variant released by FireEye [1]. As a GCC/Gulf based cyber security start-up, Comae recommends GCC private and public organizations to check their Windows environment using open-source utility malcheck.
This week, several security companies issued warnings regarding a new variation of Shamoon (W32.Disttrack), being found mid November 2016. This utility available in bin/malcheck.exe contains a portable utility for simple check that your security team can use for quick assessment.
