Abstract

GenRex is a unique tool for detecting similarities in artifacts from executable files and the generation of regular expressions. 

This paper demonstrates how to use GenRex to maximize the usage of regular expressions automatically created from behavioral reports and other potential use cases.   

GenRex is open-sourced, and additional resources, such as a dataset of behavioral reports and an extension to the YARA tool, are provided.
