Packer detection looks at a program's entry point, sections and entropy. This file is not a program image, so there was nothing of that kind to assess.

No WMI attributed to the sample. The WMI-Activity trace was running and recorded 939 operations on the machine during the run; none of them came from the sample's process tree.

No network activity - the run was isolated

This detonation was given no internet connection, so a sample that wanted to reach out could not. An empty section here says nothing about whether it tried.

Analyst narrative

The analysis indicates that the sample was successfully executed in the sandbox environment. However, the observed behavior is minimal, with only one process (wscript.exe) being spawned. There are no indications of file operations, registry modifications, or network activity, and no persistence mechanisms were detected. Additionally, there are no indicators of compromise (IOCs) or malicious capabilities identified. Given the lack of significant activity and the absence of malicious behavior, the verdict is that there is insufficient evidence to classify the sample as malicious. The analysis does not provide any clear indicators of initial access, execution, persistence, defense evasion, command and control (C2), or impact. Therefore, the sample does not demonstrate any malicious intent based on the observed data.

Extracted files

What came out of the sample: unpacked payloads, carved objects and captured memory. Each one is stored by content hash, so the same object extracted twice is the same row.

No extracted files

Nothing was unpacked or carved out of this sample. Packed samples, documents with embedded objects and installers are the ones that usually produce artifacts here.

AI analysis report

An enterprise report with an AI-written executive summary, threat assessment, kill chain, and recommendations, plus the derived evidence (verdict, MITRE ATT&CK, network, file modifications, dropped files, IOCs) and screenshots. The AI narrative is built from derived analysis data only, so the raw sample never leaves the host (no-upload and AI-boundary preserved).
