🔍 MANTA – A Fully Ephemeral, AI-Powered Malware Analysis Tool (Built on GitHub Pages)

I recently shipped a project I’m really proud of: MANTA – Malware Analysis Tool & Assistant

It’s a privacy-first malware static analysis tool with:

• No backend server


• No database


• No persistence


• 100% client-side AI heuristics


• Optional GitHub Actions backend


• Runs entirely on GitHub Pages

Here’s the live version:

👉 Malware Analysis Tool

🏗 Architecture Overview

MANTA is built as a hybrid:

1. Client-Side Browser Engine (Primary Mode)

• File never leaves the browser


• JS-based static analysis


• Hashing + PE header parsing


• String extraction


• Entropy + packer detection


• Suspicious IOCs


• AI heuristic scoring

1. GitHub Actions Backend (Optional Deep Scan)

Triggered only if configured.

Capabilities:

• YARA scanning


• Advanced static tooling


• Python-based static analysis


• AI-enhanced summaries

Backend is fully serverless.

Files delete immediately after processing.

✨** Features**

• Modern UI


• Drag & drop support


• Real-time progress indicators


• JSON / HTML / TXT report export


• Zero logging, zero tracking


• Auto-wipe memory on refresh


• Works completely offline in client mode

🎯 Why GitHub Pages + GitHub Actions?

Because they offer:

• Free hosting


• Zero maintenance


• Full transparency


• Serverless execution


• Easy forkability

And it keeps the tool fully open-source and reproducible.
