We are excited to announce version 3.0! ?

capa 3.0:

  • adds support for ELF files targeting Linux thanks to Intezer
  • adds new features to specify OS, CPU architecture, and file format
  • fixes a few bugs that may have led to false negatives (missed capabilities) in older versions
  • adds 80 new rules, including 36 describing techniques for Linux

A huge thanks to everyone who submitted issues, provided feedback, and contributed code and rules.
Special acknowledgement to @Adir-Shemesh and @TcM1911 of Intezer for contributing the code to enable ELF support.
Also, welcome first time contributors:
