Systematically remove malware, backdoors, and attacker persistence mechanisms.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Eradicating Malware from Infected Systems

## When to Use
- Malware infection confirmed and containment is in place
- Forensic investigation has identified all persistence mechanisms
- All compromised systems have been identified and scoped
- Ready to remove attacker artifacts and restore clean state
- Post-containment phase requires systematic cleanup

## Prerequisites
- Completed forensic analysis identifying all malware artifacts
- List of all compromised systems and accounts
- EDR/AV with updated signatures deployed
- YARA rules for the specific malware family
- Clean system images or verified backups for restoration
- Network isolation still in effect during eradication

## Workflow

### Step 1: Map All Persistence Mechanisms
```bash
# Windows - Check all known persistence locations
# Autoruns (Sysinternals) - comprehensive autostart enumeration
autorunsc.exe -accepteula -a * -c -h -s -v > autoruns_report.csv

# Registry Run keys
reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" /s
reg query "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" /s
reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce" /s

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add adriannoes/awesome-agentic-ai/eradicating-malware-from-infected-systems@sha256:6c0b752f968698fd

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
