REMnux 8 is now available. It's a free, open-source Linux toolkit with over 200 tools for analyzing malicious software. You can run it as a virtual machine, a docker container, or install it onto an existing system. I released the first version of REMnux in 2010 to package the utilities I needed for teaching malware analysis and to share the toolkit with the community. Fifteen years and eight major releases later, the toolkit continues to evolve in step with malware trends and analysts' needs. The most notable change in REMnux 8 is the support for AI-assisted malware analysis. The new REMnux MCP server connects AI agents to the distro's tools with practitioner guidance built in. The toolkit's documented tools and predictable interfaces also make it particularly useful to AI agents. The updated documentation includes a new 'Use Artificial Intelligence' tool category that lists OpenCode as a terminal-based AI coding agent, GhidrAssistMCP for AI-assisted reverse engineering in Ghidra, and the r2ai and decai plugins for Radare2.
