👀 About the project

Windows Artifacts Generator is a tool for creating malware artifacts for detection tests.

❓ Why

It's useful for testing configurations, rules, or your Endpoint Detection and Response.
It's not intended to fully simulate the behavior of malware but to reproduce the steps that led to artifact creation.
By avoiding full and complex simulations, Windows Artifacts Generator seeks to be simple but nonetheless powerful.

🚀 Getting started

This is an example of how you can install or build the project yourself.

⚙️ Prerequisites

Depending on what you want to achieve, you might need different tools.
For now, you only need Cargo to build or install the project.

📦 Installation

Currently, this project is only available on crates.io.
In order to install it, just enter this command in your favorite terminal:

cargo install windows-artifacts-generator

🛠️ Build

  1. Clone the repository

    git clone https://github.com/frack113/WAG/
    
  2. Build and run the project!

    cargo run --release
    

After these steps, the application will be in the target directory.

🥷 Quick examples

Now that WAG is installed, you can start generating some artifacts!
For example, you can create a file like this:

wag actions files create --name "example.txt"

Or you can generate artifacts from a configuration file:

wag generate --file "$YOUR_CONFIGURATIONS_FILE_PATH"
