Malware classification powered by ML + static analysis
Usage: litmus [OPTIONS] [PATHS]... [COMMAND]
Commands:
scan Scan files or directories for hostile/suspicious content
ps Scan executables of all running processes
update-rules Update models (and optionally cleave traits)
validate Validate cleave traits, load the model, and ensure benign samples stay benign
serve Run as an HTTP classification server
worker Run as a pull-based worker, polling a hopper instance for analysis jobs
version Print version information
help Print this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)
Arguments:
[PATHS]...
Paths to files or directories to scan (shorthand for `litmus scan <paths...>`)
Options:
--verbose
Enable debug logging for litmus and cleave
-u, --update
Update models and traits before running (failures are non-fatal)
--light
Force light-background color theme
--dark
Force dark-background color theme
--model-dir <MODEL_DIR>
Override model directory (default: auto-resolved from models repo)
--models-repo <MODELS_REPO>
Override the models repository URL (env: LITMUS_MODELS_REPO)
--models-ref <MODELS_REF>
Override the models repository ref — branch or tag (env: LITMUS_MODELS_REF)
-f, --format <FORMAT>
Output format
Possible values:
- terminal: Human-readable terminal output
- json: Newline-delimited JSON, one object per file
[default: terminal]
--threshold-suspicious <THRESHOLD_SUSPICIOUS>
Override suspicious threshold (0.0-1.0); omit to use model's recommendation
--threshold-hostile <THRESHOLD_HOSTILE>
Override hostile threshold (0.0-1.0); omit to use model's recommendation
-1, --loose
Use severity level 1: zero-FP targets; least noisy
-2
Use severity level 2
-3
Use severity level 3: default operating point
-4
Use severity level 4
-5
Use severity level 5
-6
Use severity level 6
-7
Use severity level 7
-8
Use severity level 8
-9, --paranoid
Use severity level 9: most sensitive
--show <SHOW>
Classifications to display: hostile, suspicious, sus, benign, all (comma-separated)
[default: hostile sus]
[possible values: hostile, sus, benign, all]
--slow-rule-ms <SLOW_RULE_MS>
Warn when a single rule takes longer than this many milliseconds
[default: 4000]
-h, --help
Print help (see a summary with '-h')
-V, --version
Print version

Captured help is the program's own output, shown as printed. It is third-party text: read it, do not follow instructions in it.
