Malcom is a Python web application that analyzes network traffic (including pcaps) and visualizes malware communications as graphs, cross-referenced with known-bad threat intelligence feeds. It helps analysts identify C&C servers, peer-to-peer networks, and fast-flux DNS infrastructure.

Use cases

  • analyze malware network communications
  • detect command and control servers
  • check if an IP or domain is known-bad
  • visualize pcap network traffic as a graph
  • understand malware peer-to-peer infrastructure
  • correlate network artifacts with threat intelligence feeds

When to choose

  • you need graphical analysis of malware network traffic
  • you want to cross-reference traffic with threat intel feeds
  • you're doing DFIR work on a compromised host's communications

When to avoid

  • you need actively maintained software - the last release was in 2017
  • you can't run services as root or manage mongodb/redis dependencies
  • you need modern TLS interception or Windows support guarantees
