The article discusses the growing prominence of Rust as a programming language for both systems-level coding and malware development. Unlike C and C++, Rust offers inherent memory safety and concurrency features that complicate security assessments. As attackers exploit the challenges posed by Rust's structure, security researchers struggle to identify malicious behavior within Rust code. Microsoft has responded to this issue by introducing RIFT, a tool designed to analyze Rust-based malware and identify library components, thereby simplifying the security investigation process.
The rising use of Rust in malware poses significant challenges for security researchers; its unique structure complicates the identification of malicious actions within code.
Microsoft has recognized the difficulties inherent in analyzing Rust-based malware and has developed a tool, RIFT, to assist researchers in demystifying its inner workings.
