Feature: SPARK Sample Quarantine via Bifrost

by Florian RothAug 20, 2018

The new SPARK v1.14.16 supports the sample quarantine protocol named Bifrost.

With Bifrost you’re able to send suspicious samples that THOR or SPARK detect on endpoints directly to a central server for analysis.

A Bifrost server is shipped in form of a Python script with THOR and SPARK. (./tools sub folder)
You can also activate the Bifrost server on our ASGARD platform.

All samples that have a score higher than the given limit are dropped into a given directory and are available for further post-processing – e.g. drop them into a sandbox or static analysis.
