Open source tools and standards to lookup known files
Shameless plug: I wrote a small poc module to use hashlookup's bloom filter in yara (https://github.com/VirusTotal/yara). The idea is to easily discard files that are known to be safe and so to avoid launching thousands of yara rules on a file for nothing. One can also use it to keep track of some files that meet certain conditions for instance. The module can store any string in these filters so I see a lot of useful use-cases for this little thingy :)

Identifying packers, crypters or protectors
A signature-based approach with YARA can work to fingerprint the specific software used to obfuscate the malware. A lot of YARA rules for a variety of purposes can be found here, and it might be useful to aggregate ones you care about into your own little detection pipeline.
