I was looking at some MITRE projects and was wondering what you thought about, and if anyone was using or contributing to, the MITRE Malware Attribute Enumeration and Characterization project: https://maec.mitre.org/.  Do you see the potential for widespread adoption?To me, it looks interesting from the description:International in scope and free for public use, MAEC is a standardized  language for encoding and communicating high-fidelity information  about malware based upon attributes such as behaviors, artifacts, and  attack patterns. By eliminating the ambiguity and inaccuracy that currently exists in  malware descriptions and by reducing reliance on signatures, MAEC aims  to improve human-to-human, human-to-tool, tool-to-tool, and  tool-to-human communication about malware; reduce potential  duplication of malware analysis efforts by researchers; and allow for  the faster development of countermeasures by enabling the ability to  leverage responses to previously observed malware instances.But it also looks fairly complicated, which might limit widespread adoption.
