Octopus Scanner Malware

Scan deployed binaries (not declared manifests) to accurately detect and defeat open source security threats.

The inventors of the novel Octopus Scanner malware are bad actors.  They're also kind of clever.  You see, they designed their attack to be invisible and immune to manifest-based security scanners.

Being clever, however, is not enough to hide from a binary-based security tool like Sonatype Lifecycle.  Powered by patented Advanced Binary Fingerprinting (ABF) technology, Sonatype tools examine binaries as deployed and precisely identify real risk associated with all embedded dependencies.

  • “Scanning binaries as deployed has always been important — but is particularly important now in light of novel software supply chain attacks like Octopus Scanner which are immune to detection by manifest based scanning tools.”

    — Brian Fox, CTO, Sonatype
