neopi

A Python utility to scan files for signs of encryption, obfuscation, and potentially malicious code patterns.

Features

• Multiple analysis methods:

  • Entropy analysis to detect encryption/compression
  • Index of Coincidence for language detection
  • Longest word/string detection
  • Compression ratio analysis
  • Signature-based pattern matching for suspicious code
  • Specific eval() usage detection

• Flexible file selection:

  • Recursive directory scanning
  • Regex-based filename filtering
  • Optional symlink following
  • Unicode file handling

• Analysis modes:

  • Standard mode with ranked results
  • Block mode for analyzing file segments
  • Alarm mode to flag statistical outliers
  • CSV output option

Installation

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/neopi.git
cd neopi

# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

Basic usage:

python -m neopi /path/to/scan "*.php"

Common options:

# Run all tests
python -m neopi /path/to/scan -a

# Run specific tests
python -m neopi /path/to/scan -e -s -l  # entropy, signatures, longest word

# Block mode analysis (1024 byte blocks)
python -m neopi /path/to/scan -a -b 1024

# Generate CSV output
python -m neopi /path/to/scan -a -c results.csv

# Alarm mode (flag statistical outliers)
python -m neopi /path/to/scan -a -m 1.5

Available Tests

• -e, --entropy: Shannon entropy analysis
• -i, --ic: Index of Coincidence for language detection
• -l, --longestword: Longest word/string detection
• -z, --zlib: Compression ratio analysis
• -s, --signature: Basic signature pattern matching
• -S, --supersignature: Advanced signature pattern matching
• -E, --eval: Specific eval() usage detection
• -a, --all: Run all useful tests

Additional Options

• -u, --unicode: Skip files with high Unicode content
• -f, --follow-links: Follow symbolic links
• -b BLOCK_SIZE, --block-mode BLOCK_SIZE: Analyze in blocks
• -m THRESHOLD, --alarm-mode THRESHOLD: Flag statistical outliers
• -c FILE, --csv FILE: Generate CSV output

Output

The tool provides:

• Ranked results for each test
• Cumulative rankings across all tests
• File counts and scan timing
• Optional CSV output
• Block positions for block mode
• Statistical outlier flags in alarm mode
