## What it is
Viper is a Python-based binary analysis and management framework for organizing collections of malware and exploit samples along with analysis scripts. This 1.x repository is archived and discontinued in favor of the Viper 2 refactor.

## Use cases
- organize a malware sample collection
- analyze suspicious binaries
- manage exploit samples and research scripts
- run malware triage from the command line
- extend binary analysis with custom modules

## When to choose
- you need a scriptable CLI workbench for malware sample storage and analysis
- you want a modular framework to plug in your own analysis scripts

## When to avoid
- you want actively maintained software - this repo is archived
- you are starting fresh - use Viper 2 instead
- you need a GUI-based reverse engineering tool

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: abandoned
- function: security, reverse-engineering, cli, plugin-system
- domain: security, reverse-engineering, developer-tools
- platform: python, cli, cross-platform
- tags: malware-analysis, binary-analysis, sample-management, archived, viper, command-line, linux, macos
