defense-malware-triage
Safely triage a suspicious file or process — is it malicious, what does it do, and what IOCs does it yield — with static then dynamic analysis. Load for "is this file malware", "analyze this binary/script/document", "suspicious process on a host", or extracting IOCs for hunting/detection.

# Malware triage
## When it applies
You have a sample (a dropped binary, a macro-laden document, a suspicious script) or a live process
and need a fast verdict plus IOCs — not full reverse engineering, but enough to decide and to feed
detection/IR.
## Why it works
Most samples reveal their nature cheaply: capabilities, embedded strings, and behaviour appear long
before you need a disassembler. Triage front-loads the cheap signals and only escalates to deep RE
when the verdict is still unclear — so you get IOCs fast without burning hours per file.
## Method
1. **Handle safely**: work in an isolated VM/network, never on a production host. Treat the sample as
