Sudden #memory from 45 years ago.

Sack of groceries tore and dropped a warm glass quart bottle of root beer on the floor of my parents' kitchen. It fell hard onto its side.

The screw cap blew off, the carbonation made foam rocket out, and the bottle spun and slid about, spraying the walls and cabinets with sticky sugary soda.

I about cried.

Human #memory is wild. For a few weeks now I've been trying to remember the name of the assessment framework used in one of my #MBA courses from 2013. For whatever reason, I don't have the culminating report from that class archived; it was probably stored on a laptop I wiped and sold long ago.

I searched Google for the concepts a few times but didn't find anything that looked familiar. I tried the various LLMs, but nothing stood out.

Then, suddenly this morning, "Baldrick" popped into my mind while I was thinking about it. I audibly said something blasphemous and grabbed my laptop to look it up. It's "#Baldrige," but close enough. Apparently it's a #NIST effort - I didn't recall that at all.

I knew it was in there. It's crazy how our ability to access those bits is so circumstance-dependent.

"When you create a string, array, or object, PHP doesn’t ask the OS for memory every time. Instead, it carves out space from these pre-allocated chunks. […] This isn’t a bug — it’s an optimization. Reusing already-allocated chunks is much faster than constantly asking the OS for memory and giving it back."

💡Interesting article on why PHP memory never decreases once allocated.

This beautiful column was shared with me and now I'm sharing it with you -- about memory, experience, and the digital age. Segues nicely into the discussion of our "post-literate," "anti-intellectual" world.

"For most of human history, memory was an art. Ancient cultures cultivated elaborate techniques of recall – the Indian oral traditions, the Greek ars memoriae, the monastic practices of meditation. Remembering was not just about storage; it was about synthesis. To remember was to interpret, to connect, to assign meaning. Today, remembering is a mechanical act of recording. We take photos of sunsets instead of watching them, record lectures instead of listening, and bookmark articles instead of reading. In our quest to capture, we have forgotten how to experience."

"We must learn, once again, that memory is not a file to be accessed but a flame to be tended. To remember is to care. And to care, in an age of distraction, is the rarest act of all."

It seems Mr. @rpodoliaka is too shy to share his latest blog post here, so let me do it for him.

https://www. podoliaka.org/2025/10/12/newli nes/

It's a fascinating piece that shows how much you can squeeze out from your own machine if you really want to, using "count lines in the file" as an example. All you need is a desire and a systematic approach, which is shown in the post.

If you are into systems programming, this is a must-have read. I enjoyed it a lot!

MalChela 2.2 “REMnux” Release

MalChela’s 2.2 update is packed with practical and platform-friendly improvements. It includes native support for REMnux, better tool settings, and deeper integrations with analysis tools like YARA-X, Tshark, Volatility3, and the newly improved fileanalyzer module.

🦀 REMnux Edition: Built-In Support, Zero Tweaks

When the GUI loads a REMnux-specific tools.yaml profile, it enters REMnux mode.

Screenshot of yaml configuration applying REMnux mode

Native binaries and Python scripts like capa, oledump.py, olevba, and FLOSS are loaded into the MalChela tools menu, allowing you to mix and match operations with the embedded MalChela utilities and the full REMnux tool stack. No manual configuration needed—just launch and go. MalChela currently supports the following REMnux programs right out of the box:

Tool Name | Description
binwalk | Firmware analysis and extraction tool
capa | Identifies capabilities in executable files
radare2 | Advanced reverse engineering framework
Volatility 3 | Memory forensics framework for RAM analysis
exiftool | Extracts metadata from images, documents, and more
TShark | Terminal-based network packet analyzer (Wireshark CLI)
mraptor | Detects malicious macros in Office documents
oledump | Parses OLE files and embedded streams
oleid | Identifies features in OLE files that may indicate threats
olevba | Extracts and analyzes VBA macros from Office files
rtfobj | Extracts embedded objects from RTF documents
zipdump | Inspects contents of ZIP files, including suspicious payloads
pdf-parser | Analyzes structure and contents of suspicious PDFs
FLOSS | Reveals obfuscated and decoded strings in binaries
clamscan | On-demand virus scanner using ClamAV engine
strings | Extracts printable strings from binary files
YARA-X | Next-generation high-performance YARA rule scanner

If you only need a subset of tools you can easily save and restore that a custom profile.

TShark Panel with Built-In Reference

Tshark and the integrated field reference

A new TShark integration exposes features including:

A filter builder panel

Commonly used fields reference

Tooltip hints for each example (e.g., `ip.addr == 192.168.1.1` shows “Any traffic to or from 192.168.1.1”)

One-click copy support

This helps analysts build and understand filters quickly—even if TShark isn’t something they use every day. Using the syntax builder in MalChela you can use the exact commands directly in Tshark or Wireshark.

YARA-X Support (Install Guide Included)

YARA-X module in MalChela

Support for YARA-X (via the `yr` binary) is now built in. YARA-X is not bundled with REMnux by default, but install instructions are included in the User Guide for both macOS and Linux users.

Once installed, MalChela allows for rule-based scanning from the GUI,and with YARA-X, it’s faster than ever.

fileanalyzer: Fuzzy Hashing, PE Metadata, and More

Updated FileAnalyzer Module

MalChela’s fileanalyzer tool has also been updated to include:

Fuzzy hashing support via `ssdeep`

BLAKE3 hashing for fast, secure fingerprints

Expanded PE analysis, including:

Import and Export Table parsing (list of imported and exported functions)

Compilation Timestamp (for detection of suspicious or forged build times)

Section Characteristics (flags like IMAGE_SCN_MEM_EXECUTE, IMAGE_SCN_CNT_CODE, etc., for detecting anomalous sections)

These improvements provide deeper insight into executable structure, helping analysts detect anomalies such as packers, suspicious timestamps, or unexpected imports/exports. Useful for everything from sample triage to correlation, fileanalyzer now digs deeper—without slowing down.

Memory Forensics Gets a Boost: Volatility 3 Now Supported

With the 2.2 release, MalChela introduces support for Volatility 3, the modern Python-based memory forensics framework. Whether you’re running MalChela in REMnux or on a customized macOS or Linux setup, you can now access the full power of Volatility directly from the MalChela GUI.

Volatility 3 in MalChela

There’s an intuitive plugin selector that dynamically adjusts available arguments based on your chosen plugin,. You can search, sort, and browse available plugins, and even toggle output options like –dump-dir with ease.

Like Tshark, there is an added plugin reference panel with searchable descriptions and argument overviews — a real time-saver when navigating Volatility’s deep and often complex toolset.

Volatility Plugin Reference

Smarter Tool Configuration via YAML

The tool configuration system continues to evolve:

Tools now declare their input type (file, folder, or hash)

The GUI dynamically adjusts the interface to match

Alternate profiles (like REMnux setups) can be managed simply by swapping `tools.yaml` files via the GUI

Easily backup or restore your custom setups

Restore the default toolset to get back to basics

This structure helps keep things clean—whether you’re testing, teaching, or deploying in a lab environment.

Embedded Documentation Access

The GUI now includes a link to the full MalChela User Guide in PDF. You can also access the documentation online.

From tool usage and CLI flags to configuration tips and install steps, it’s all just a click away—especially useful in offline environments or when onboarding new analysts. I’ll be honest, this is likely the most comprehensive user guide I’ve ever written.

Whether you’re reviewing binaries, building hash sets, or exploring network captures—MalChela 2.2 is designed bring together the tools you need, and make it easier to interoperate between them.

The new REMnux mode makes it even easier to get up and running with dozens of third party integrations.
