Defensive malware analysis workflow from safe handling in an isolated lab through triage, static analysis, dynamic analysis, and reporting with ATT&CK mapping and YARA, Snort/Suricata, or Sigma signatures. Use when planning or running an analysis of a suspected sample for incident response.
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
# Malware Analysis Methodology > Complete reference for the defensive malware analysis workflow, from safe handling and triage through static analysis, dynamic analysis, and reporting. ## Knowledge Base ### Analysis Phases Malware analysis follows a structured progression from least-interactive to most-interactive techniques. Each phase builds on the previous, and analysts should extract maximum value from safer (non-execution) methods before moving to dynamic analysis. **Phase 1: Triage (5-15 minutes)** - File type identification via magic bytes (`file` command, not extension) - Hash generation (MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, ssdeep) - Reputation lookups (VirusTotal, MalwareBazaar, CIRCL hashlookup) - Quick string scan for obvious indicators - Decision: known malware (skip to IOC extraction) vs unknown (proceed to Phase 2) **Phase 2: Static Analysis (30 minutes - several hours)** - String extraction: ASCII, Unicode, stack strings (FLOSS), encoded strings - PE/ELF header analysis: compile timestamp, sections, imports/exports - Entropy analysis: per-section entropy to detect packing/encryption …

How to install
mdr add hermeticormus/libresecops-claude-code/malware-analysis-methodology@sha256:ada95324490dcc0cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260930.71a2663, 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.
