  Malware analysis is still largely a manual task. This slow and inefficient
approach does not scale to the exponential rise in the rate of new unique
malware generated. Hence, automating the process as much as possible becomes
desirable.
  In this paper, we present ColdPress - an extensible malware analysis platform
that automates the end-to-end process of malware threat intelligence gathering
integrated output modules to perform report generation of arbitrary file
formats. ColdPress combines state-of-the-art tools and concepts into a modular
system that aids the analyst to efficiently and effectively extract information
from malware samples. It is designed as a user-friendly and extensible platform
that can be easily extended with user-defined modules.
  We evaluated ColdPress with complex real-world malware samples (e.g.,
WannaCry), demonstrating its efficiency, performance and usefulness to security
analysts.
