These rules matched this sample, and they also match this much of known-clean software (measured over 1145 signed Windows and third-party binaries). A rule that fires on most clean files cannot move a verdict, so it is held back unless the detonation confirms the behaviour. They are listed because a count that shrinks without saying so is not a count an analyst can check.
Structure
What the file is made of: headers, imports, how it was built and whether it was signed.
Sections & resources
How the file is laid out in memory, and what is embedded in it: section roles, access rights, entropy and every resource entry.
Signatures & packing
What matched and what is hidden: YARA rules, capa capabilities, family attribution, packer detection, unpacked payloads and recovered configuration.
Strings
The readable content: embedded secrets, flagged strings and everything extraction recovered.
Code
What the sample would execute: the emulated API call sequence, and the disassembled entry point.

Evasion / anti-analysis checks
5 checksStatically visible checks (RDTSC/CPUID/red-pill instructions, anti-debug APIs) plus runtime evasion signals. Instruction-level interception at runtime requires hypervisor introspection (VMI).
No WMI attributed to the sample. The WMI-Activity trace was running and recorded 924 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 of the sample indicates that it was successfully executed within the sandbox environment. The following behaviors were observed, which can be categorized into various stages of the kill chain: 1. **Initial Access**: The sample appears to have been executed successfully, but specific details regarding the method of initial access are not provided in the analysis data. 2. **Execution**: The sample executed under the process `dfsvc.exe`, which is part of the Windows Deployment Services. This process was responsible for creating multiple directories and files within the user's AppData and Temp directories, indicating that the sample was actively performing operations. 3. **Persistence**: The sample created registry keys related to deployment and tracing, suggesting an attempt to establish persistence. Specifically, it created keys under `Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Deployment\SideBySide`, which could be used to maintain its presence on the system. 4. **Defense Evasion**: The sample demonstrated potential defense evasion techniques by modifying registry values related to tracing and logging, specifically disabling console and file tracing for the `dfsvc` process. This could hinder detection by security monitoring tools. 5. **Command and Control (C2)**: The analysis includes several indicators of potential C2 communication, such as URLs and IP addresses associated with `digicert.com`. These may indicate attempts to connect to external servers, although no direct evidence of successful communication was observed during the analysis. 6. **Impact**: The impact of the sample is not explicitly detailed in the analysis. However, the creation of files and registry modifications suggests that it may have been designed to perform further actions or maintain a foothold on the system. In summary, the sample exhibited behaviors consistent with a potentially malicious application, including file and registry modifications indicative of persistence and defense evasion. The presence of C2 indicators further suggests that it may have been designed to communicate with external servers. The overall verdict is that the sample demonstrates malicious capabilities, warranting further investigation.

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).
