Miley - a proof of concept malware scanner for containers

Miley is a proof of concept malware scanner built for scanning container images, as well as local files.

Miley works by taking file hashes from the container/directory, and querying the hashes against a malware databse, Malware Bazaar.

This tool was created to satisfy classwork for Dakota State University's CSC-842 Security Tool Development.

Demo video: [here](coming soon!)

Prerequisites

• Python 3 interpreter
• Pip3
• Docker for container scanning

Usage

pip install miley

miley --help

Scan a hash (MD5, SHA-1, or SHA-256)

miley --hash f617abd6a9ccb98e34a6e32184004d5a08ea11d198fca9fed88b04b9dfc96de2

Scan a directory for malware

miley --path /path/to/directory/

Scan a remote container image

miley --image alpine:latest

Future Work

If I were to maintain this program going forward, I would:

• speed up the program
• support additional malware databases, such as Virus Total
• add a GUI

Why is it named Miley?

Miley is my beloved family dog, who passed away in 2023 due to old age.

Miley was always good at detecting and alerting to potentially dangerous situations, despite being blind.

I wrote this tool with her memory at the forefront of my mind.
