SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Analyze specialized file types beyond standard PE executables to identify threats, extract payloads, and surface actionable indicators.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Format-specific analysis workflows for .NET assemblies, Office macros, PDFs, PowerShell/JavaScript, archives, and ELF binaries.
  • Macro and payload discovery including deobfuscation, embedded resources, and IOCs.
  • Use Case: When encountering a suspicious document or non-Windows executable, employ this skill to produce format-specific findings and IOCs for incident response.

Quick Start

Open a suspicious file (e.g., sample.docm or sample.bin) and begin a format-specific analysis using the recommended workflow.

FAQPage Schema
How do I analyze non-PE files like Office macros or PDFs for embedded payloads?

Analyze non-PE files by applying format-specific workflows to Office macros, PDFs, and archives to extract embedded payloads and deobfuscation clues. This approach surfaces actionable indicators of compromise while safely isolating execution to prevent accidental exposure.

What is the best way to extract IOCs from PowerShell and JavaScript threat scripts?

Extracting IOCs from PowerShell and JavaScript scripts involves deobfuscating the code to identify malicious commands and embedded resources. This format-aware analysis builds comprehensive technique profiles and structured findings for incident response.

How do I perform malware analysis on ELF binaries to identify threats?

Malware analysis on ELF binaries requires format-aware tooling to inspect the non-Windows executable structure. This process identifies embedded payloads and relevant IOCs, building a comprehensive threat profile for Linux targets.

Can I deobfuscate .NET assemblies to discover hidden macros and resources?

You can deobfuscate .NET assemblies to discover hidden macros, embedded resources, and payloads. This format-specific analysis extracts deobfuscation clues and relevant IOCs, enabling structured findings for incident response.

Do I need a safe isolated environment to analyze suspicious documents and archives?

A safe isolated environment is required to analyze suspicious documents and archives, preventing accidental exposure to embedded payloads. Format-aware tooling executes within this isolation to produce structured findings and IOCs safely.

Why does standard executable analysis fail to find payloads in non-PE files?

Standard executable analysis fails on non-PE files because it lacks the format-specific tooling required to parse Office macros, PDFs, and ELF binaries. Format-aware workflows are necessary to successfully extract embedded payloads and deobfuscation clues.
