In Arieh's view, entropy, which originally stems from the laws of <a href="https://discuss.systems/tags/thermodynamics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>thermodynamics</span></a> and in particular the 2nd law, has been misused and incorrectly transferred as a <a href="https://discuss.systems/tags/concept" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>concept</span></a> to other areas of <a href="https://discuss.systems/tags/physics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>physics</span></a>, <a href="https://discuss.systems/tags/biology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>biology</span></a> and everyday <a href="https://discuss.systems/tags/life" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>life</span></a>.</p><p>In this respect, it was finally time (bon mot) to ask the author himself about his ground-breaking theses, which cast a different light on the <a href="https://discuss.systems/tags/phenomenon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>phenomenon</span></a> of entropy or perhaps better said, bring entropy back to its place of origin. </p><p>The interview we conducted with him is in English.</p><p>Find out more at: <a href="https://philosophies.de/index.php/2024/02/22/entzauberung-der-entropie/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">philosophies.de/index.php/2024</span><span class="invisible">/02/22/entzauberung-der-entropie/</span></a></p><p>or: <a href="https://youtu.be/Km88EreH4A8" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">youtu.be/Km88EreH4A8</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>

steev hise<p>My computer is dying. Heat problem. A fan is failing.<br> The part is discontinued. the laptop is only 5 years old. Having trouble finding the exact part# for the fan assembly even on like Ebay and Amazon and Alibaba. Can't afford new computer. Need new glasses too. Can't afford them either. can't afford my insurance premiums either. might just cash in my IRA. It's tanking with the stock market anyway. </p><p>It struck me this morning that money is like energy, and like energy you can inject more of it into a system to lower the total entropy of the system, but without it the entropy just keeps increasing. Conversely as DOG(e)(gy) sucks money out of the US system, the entropy is increasing at a really fast rate, and goddess knows where the chaos will lead us.</p><p>anyway. this text is from my Patreon.

Baker Street Forensics<p><strong>MalChela Updates: New Features and Enhancements</strong></p><p>It’s been just over a week since <strong><a href="https://github.com/dwmetz/MalChela" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">MalChela</a></strong> was initially released and already here have been a number of updates.</p><p><strong>mStrings</strong></p><p>In the previous post, I walked through the new <a href="https://bakerstreetforensics.com/2025/03/09/mstrings-a-practical-approach-to-malware-string-analysis/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">mStrings</a> function. I think this is one of my favorites so far. It extracts strings from a file and uses Sigma rules defined in YAML against the strings to evaluate threats and align results to the MITRE ATT&CK framework.</p><p>For fun I pointed it at an old WannaCry sample . I had a proud papa moment at the positive network IOC detection. </p><p><strong>Check for Updates</strong></p><p>Next came a function to automatically check the GitHub repo for updates and encourage a git pull to grab the latest… because apparently I can’t stop myself and this project will just keep growing, as my sleep keeps dwindling. Personally I found it ironic that you have to update in order to get the update telling you that updates are available… but it will work for all future updates as they come. So go ahead and update why don’t you.</p><em>Screenshot of MalChela indicating an update is available via git.</em><p><strong>New File Analyzer module</strong></p><p>Most recently a File Analyzer module has been added. Give it the path to your suspect file and it will return back:</p><ul><li>SHA-256 Hash</li><li>Entropy (<7.5=high)</li><li>A RegEx detection for packing (mileage may vary)</li><li>PE Header info if it’s a PE</li><li>File Metadata</li><li>Yara Matches (any rules in yara_rules folder in workspace)</li><li>If there’s a positive match for the hash on VirusTotal (leverages the same key as previously in MalChela with the Virus Total / Malware Bazaar lookup)</li></ul><p>Lastly, you’re given the option of whether or not you want to run strings on the file, or return to the main menu.</p><p>I really like the idea of using this as a possible first step in static analysis. Run this first and opt for <strong>strings</strong>. Things look interesting there, throw it into <strong>mStrings</strong>. Positive match on VirusTotal – use the <strong>malware hash lookup</strong> and get a more detailed analysis. Use the results from mStrings to <strong>craft a YARA rule </strong>and add it to your repo for future detections. </p> <p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://bakerstreetforensics.com/tag/dfir/" target="_blank">#DFIR</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://bakerstreetforensics.com/tag/entropy/" target="_blank">#Entropy</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://bakerstreetforensics.com/tag/hash/" target="_blank">#Hash</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://bakerstreetforensics.com/tag/malware/" target="_blank">#Malware</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://bakerstreetforensics.com/tag/malware-analysis/" target="_blank">#MalwareAnalysis</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://bakerstreetforensics.com/tag/pe/" target="_blank">#PE</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://bakerstreetforensics.com/tag/rust/" target="_blank">#Rust</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://bakerstreetforensics.com/tag/virustotal/" target="_blank">#VirusTotal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://bakerstreetforensics.com/tag/yara/" target="_blank">#yara</a></p>
