v1.6.0
v1.6.0 (2021-03-09)
This release adds the capa explorer rule generator plugin for IDA Pro, vivisect support for Python 3 and 12 new rules. We appreciate everyone who opened issues, provided feedback, and contributed code and rules. Thank you also to the vivisect development team (@rakuy0, @atlas0fd00m) for the Python 3 support (vivisect==1.0.0) and the fixes for Python 2 (vivisect==0.2.1).
Rule Generator IDA Plugin
The capa explorer IDA plugin now helps you quickly build new capa rules using features extracted directly from your IDA database. Without leaving the plugin interface you can use the features extracted by capa explorer to develop and test new rules and save your work directly to your capa rules directory. To get started select the new Rule Generator tab, navigate to a function in the IDA Disassembly view, and click Analyze. For more information check out the capa explorer readme.
Python 2/3 vivisect workspace compatibility
This version of capa adds Python 3 support in vivisect. Note that .viv files (generated by vivisect) are not compatible between Python 2 and Python 3. When updating to Python 3 you need to delete all the .viv files for capa to work.
If you get the following error (or a similar one), you most likely need to delete .viv files:
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0x90 in position 2: ordinal not in range(128)
Upcoming changes
This is the last capa release that supports Python 2. The next release will be v2.0 and will have breaking changes, including the removal of Python 2 support.
If you have workflows that rely on the Python 2 version and need future maintenance, please reach out. We may be able to supply limited backports of key fixes and features.

This release brings newly updated mappings to the Malware Behavior Catalog version 2.0, many enhancements to the IDA Pro plugin, flare-capa on PyPI, a bunch of bug fixes to improve feature extraction, and four new rules. We received contributions from ten reverse engineers, including seven new ones:

Key changes to IDA Plugin
The IDA Pro integration is now distributed as a real plugin, instead of a script. This enables a few things:
- keyboard shortcuts and file menu integration
- updates distributed PyPI/
pip install --upgradewithout touching your%IDADIR% - generally doing thing the "right way"
How to get this new version? Its easy: download capa_explorer.py to your IDA plugins directory and update your capa installation (incidentally, this is a good opportunity to migrate to pip install flare-capa instead of git checkouts). Now you should see the plugin listed in the Edit > Plugins > FLARE capa explorer menu in IDA.
Please refer to the plugin readme for additional information on installing and using the IDA Pro plugin.
Please open an issue in this repository if you notice anything weird.
