🔍 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.
