MAEC Language Version 2.0 Now Available

Version 2.0 of the MAEC Language is now available on the Releases page on the MAEC Web site. The previous version of MAEC have been archived, and a detailed report is available that lists specific changes between Version 1.1 and Version 2.0.

Version 2.0 of the MAEC core schema represents a significant set of changes to improve the expressiveness of the schema, particularly in terms of profiling actions performed by malware and the objects that are associated with these actions, and as such is not backwards compatible with MAEC 1.x. MAEC 2.0 imports and utilizes components of version 0.7 of the Cyber Observables Expression (CybOX™) Schema, where appropriate. Specific changes for Version 2.0 are listed in the Previous Version Differences Report section of the MAEC Version 2.0 page.

Please note that all items in this release remain open for discussion and any comments are greatly appreciated. Feedback is welcome on the MAEC Development Group on Handshake, MAEC Discussion List, and/or maec@mitre.org.
