Capa - Native Script Analysis Support

This project involves working with Capa, a tool which detects capabilities in executable files. The rationale behind the project is that, current static analysis tools often struggle with scripting languages because of its reliance on fragile regular expressions that can be easily evaded . So, this project aims to extend the capa engine to natively support the static analysis of scripting languages using Tree-sitter. I plan to solve it by working towards the merging the tree-sitter implementation pull request. Once it is merged, I plan to extend the tree-sitter to support more languages of which Bash and Powershell are in my priority list. Then, I will extend the feature extraction of the tree-sitter to have more detailed analysis. Next, I plan to write the capa rules which would verify the integration. Also, I will add relevant documentation for ease of developers and contributors. I plan to deliver all the goals mentioned above within the 12 weeks timeline. Beyond GSoC, I plan to stay involved by contributing code, reviewing pull requests and participating in community discussions.
