Analyze specialized file types beyond standard PE executables - .NET assemblies, Office macros, PDFs, PowerShell scripts, JavaScript, archives, HTA files, disk images (ISO/IMG/VHD/VHDX), and Linux ELF binaries. Use when you encounter documents, scripts, disk images, or non-Windows executables that require format-specific analysis tools and techniques. Claude runs the extraction and deobfuscation tooling on the host itself; nothing is executed.

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

# Specialized File Analyzer

Expert analysis of non-PE file formats commonly used in malware campaigns: .NET, Office documents, PDFs, scripts, HTA files, disk images, archives, and Linux binaries.

## When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when analyzing:
- **.NET/C# assemblies** (.exe, .dll with .NET framework)
- **Office documents** with macros (.docm, .xlsm, .doc, .xls)
- **PDF files** (suspicious attachments, exploit documents)
- **Scripts** (PowerShell .ps1, VBScript .vbs, JavaScript .js)
- **HTA files** (.hta — HTML Applications executed by mshta.exe)
- **Disk images** (.iso, .img, .vhd, .vhdx — container formats that bypass MOTW)
- **Archives** (.zip, .rar, .7z, .tar.gz)
- **Shortcuts** (.lnk files)
- **Linux binaries** (ELF executables)
- **Batch files** (.bat, .cmd)

**Key indicator:** `file` command shows non-PE32 executable or document type.

## Execution Model

- **You run the commands.** Every `bash` block in this skill is for you to execute on the host, then read and interpret. Do not ask the user to run tools and paste output unless a tool is missing and cannot be installed.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add gl0bal01/malware-analysis-claude-skills/specialized-file-analyzer@sha256:6dc4127d458aafa2

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260905.e1d9a1a, 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.
