S1E07.3: Special Edition: FLARE vs. Carbanak
In this segment, we sit down with two Staff Reverse Engineers on the FLARE team, Michael Bailey (@mykill) and James “Tom” Bennett (@jtbennettjr), who were at CDS this year to discuss the results of nearly 500 total hours of analysis of the Carbanak source code we acquired. This included 100,000 lines of Carbanak source code and dozens of binaries. We deep dive into how FLARE conducts that kind of analysis and what it’s taught us about FIN7 and the other groups that use Carbanak. Among other takeaways, they share how they modified the Carbanak video player source to play FIN7 videos, covered in our recent FIN7 blog.
