class MalcontentExtractor(Extractor):
    """
    Extractor for malcontent tool from chainguard-dev/malcontent.

    Malcontent discovers supply-chain compromises through context, differential
    analysis, and 14,000+ YARA rules. It analyzes binaries and code to detect
    malicious content and suspicious behavioral patterns.

    Binary can be extracted from Docker image:
        docker cp $(docker create cgr.dev/chainguard/malcontent:latest):/usr/bin/mal /usr/local/bin/mal

    Stores full JSON output for materialized view extraction.
