malware-analysis-claude-skills

Orchestrate the complete malware analysis lifecycle across triage, dynamic analysis, detection engineering, and report writing. Use as the single entry point for any malware analysis task — routes to specialized sub-skills by file type and phase, carries findings between phases, and supports multi-sample batch workflows.

Create detection rules and hunting queries from malware analysis findings. Use when you need to write Sigma rules for SIEM, Suricata rules for network IDS, defang IOCs for safe sharing, or convert analysis findings into actionable detection content for SOC teams and threat hunters.

Execute and monitor malware in controlled sandbox environments. Use when you need to observe runtime behavior, capture network traffic, monitor process activity, analyze file/registry changes, or understand actual malware functionality beyond static analysis. Guides safe execution with Procmon, Wireshark, Process Hacker (now System Informer), Sysmon, and automated sandboxes.

Create professional malware analysis reports for enterprise security teams and incident response. Use when you need to write, structure, or improve a malware analysis report, produce executive summaries, author YARA rules, or format IOCs and detection rules for professional delivery.

Rapid assessment, classification, and prioritization of malware samples. Use when you need to perform initial malware assessment, classify a sample's type and family, determine analysis priority, identify quick indicators, or decide on next analysis steps.

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.
