Static analysis reads this file directly Nothing is hiding the code from a static pass, so what the file contains is what the report shows.

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 928 operations on the machine during the run; none of them came from the sample's process tree.

Deobfuscated scripts

2 blocks

PowerShell script blocks the sample executed, as PowerShell itself logged them (event 4104) - so an encoded or Invoke-Expression-decoded payload is captured in its final, deobfuscated form, the way it actually ran.

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 executed successfully within the sandbox environment. During the execution, two processes were observed, with one of them being `powershell.exe`. The sample created and modified a file named `inventory.txt` in the `C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\` directory. However, there is no evidence of initial access, persistence mechanisms, defense evasion techniques, command and control (C2) communications, or any significant impact on the system. The lack of network activity, registry modifications, or other notable behaviors suggests that the sample's capabilities and intent remain unclear based on the observed data. Therefore, while the sample did execute and perform some file operations, the overall analysis does not provide sufficient evidence to classify it definitively as malicious. Verdict: The sample executed but lacks sufficient evidence to determine its malicious intent or capabilities. Further analysis may be required to assess its behavior in a different context or environment.

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).
