Users can inspect capa result JSON documents in an online web instance or a standalone HTML page for offline usage. capa explorer supports interactive exploring of capa results to make it easier to understand them. Users can filter, sort, and see the details of all identified capabilities. capa explorer web was worked on by @s-ff as part of a [GSoC project](https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/programs/2024/projects/cR3hjbsq), and it is available at https://mandiant.github.io/capa/explorer/#/. This release also adds a feature extractor for output from the DRAKVUF sandbox. Now, analysts can pass the resulting `drakmon.log` file to capa and extract capabilities from the artifacts captured by the sandbox. This feature extractor will also be added to the DRAKVUF sandbox as a post-processing script, and it was worked on by @yelhamer as part of a [GSoC project](https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/programs/2024/projects/fCnBGuEC). diff --git a/capa/version.py b/capa/version.py index b12f2879b..dce982c2c 100644 --- a/capa/version.py +++ b/capa/version.py @@ -5,7 +5,7 @@ # Unless required by applicable law or agreed to in writing, software distributed under the License # is distributed on an "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or implied. # See the License for the specific language governing permissions and limitations under the License. -__version__ = "7.2.0" +__version__ = "7.3.0" def get_major_version():
