REA prompt pack: Malware analysis (8 ready-to-paste prompts). Use when doing reverse-engineering investigation of malware analysis with REA (rea.tools) via an AI coding agent.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# REAP — 17. Malware analysis Part of REAP (REA Investigation Prompts). Replace everything in <angle brackets>; keep each request focused on one feature. Demand file/function/address evidence and separate facts from hypotheses. > Authorized contexts: your own incident response, a sandboxed lab, threat-intel > work, or samples you have explicit permission to handle. Never run malware on > a production machine; these prompts are static-first and ask for runtime > observation only inside an isolated VM. ### Static triage and capability map ```text Use REA on this malware sample: <PATH> (collected for authorized incident response / threat-intel analysis). Produce a triage report: file type, compiler/packer indicators, first-run artifacts, imports grouped by malicious capability (persistence, credential theft, keylogging, screen capture, network C2, process injection, defense evasion), suspicious strings with addresses, and any embedded configs (URLs, wallet addresses, mutexes, encryption keys). For every capability claim, cite the function/address that proves it. Separate confirmed static findings from behaviors that still need sandbox confirmation. …

How to install
mdr add joasasantos/rea-prompts/reap-17-malware-analysis@sha256:a3fba9a8c1603fdaThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261025.9bd45a8, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
