CISA Open-Sources Thorium Platform For Malware, Forensic Analysis

CISA has publicly released Thorium, a powerful open-source platform developed with Sandia National Labs that automates malware and forensic analysis at massive scale. According to BleepingComputer, the platform can 'schedule over 1,700 jobs per second and ingest over 10 million files per hour per permission group.' From the report: Security teams can use Thorium for automating and speeding up various file analysis workflows, including but not limited to:
- Easily import and export tools to facilitate sharing across cyber defense teams,
- Integrate command-line tools as Docker images, including open-source, commercial, and custom software,
- Filter results using tags and full-text search,
- Control access to submissions, tools, and results with strict group-based permissions,
- Scale with Kubernetes and ScyllaDB to meet workload demands.

Defenders can find installation instructions and get their own copy of Thorium from CISA's official GitHub repository.
