Static IOC extraction engine for binaries, text, and logs.

Project description

IOCX — Static IOC Extraction Engine

Official IOCX Project

This is the official IOCX engine for static IOC extraction and PE analysis.

IOCX is not an OSINT reputation checker, HTML report generator, or IP/domain scoring tool.
It is a static analysis engine focused on extracting Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) from binaries and text.


What IOCX does

IOCX is a fast, safe, deterministic engine for extracting Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) from binaries, text, and logs. It performs pure static analysis — no execution, no sandboxing, no risk.

Features

  • Extracts IOCs from Windows PE files and raw text
  • Detects URLs, domains, IPv4/IPv6, file paths, hashes, emails, Base64
  • Crypto wallet detection (Ethereum, Bitcoin)
  • Deterministic output suitable for automation
  • Minimal dependencies and safe for enterprise environments
  • CLI and Python API

Installation

pip install iocx

CLI Usage

iocx suspicious.exe
echo "Visit http://bad.example.com" | iocx -

Python API

from iocx.engine import Engine

engine = Engine()
results = engine.extract("suspicious.exe")
print(results)

Why IOCX?

  • Static‑only design (never executes untrusted code)
  • Binary‑aware IOC extraction
  • Stable JSON schema
  • High performance (~200 MB/s throughput)
  • Ideal for DFIR, SOC automation, CI/CD, and threat‑intel pipelines

Project identity & naming

The name IOCX refers specifically to this project and its associated PyPI package and repositories under the iocx-dev organisation.

Third‑party tools must not:

  • Use iocx as their repository name
  • Present themselves as the IOCX engine
  • Use the PyPI badge for this package in a way that implies authorship
  • Imply official affiliation or endorsement without permission

Community tools that integrate with IOCX are encouraged to use names like:

  • iocx-<plugin-name>
  • iocx-plugin-<feature>
  • iocx-extension-<name>

Extensibility

IOCX includes a lightweight plugin system that allows you to add custom detectors, parsers, and transformation rules. Plugins can emit new IOC categories, override built-in behaviour, or integrate IOCX into larger analysis pipelines.

See the documentation for details on writing detectors and plugins.
