Description

This issue note aims to suggest the integration of detection heuristics from the mrphrazer/obfuscation_detection by @mrphrazer into the FLOSS tool, to enhance its capabilities in detecting and decoding obfuscated strings in malware samples. The mrphrazer/obfuscation_detection repository contains a comprehensive set of detection heuristics for various obfuscation techniques mentioned here.

Integrating these heuristics into FLOSS would allow the tool to recognize a wide range of obfuscation methods and ultimately improve its decoding performance.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the obfuscation detection repository, understand each heuristic, and design integration into FLOSS's string decoding pipeline.
