Research steps (practical)

• Source: Did the file come from an official vendor site or an untrusted forum/torrent? Untrusted = high risk.
• Hashes & signatures: Compare file hashes to vendor releases or malware databases.
• File behavior: Run in isolated sandbox (VM) to observe network connections, persistence, privilege escalation.
• Indicators of compromise (IoCs): Check for known C2 domains, uncommon ports, or obfuscated strings.
• Antivirus/EDR results: Scan with multiple engines (VirusTotal) but treat single-engine detections with caution.
