• Acquire copies of suspected artifacts in a controlled environment (air-gapped VM or forensic workstation) for static analysis.
• Hashing: Compute cryptographic hashes (SHA256/MD5) of suspect files for IOC creation.
• Static analysis: Examine PE headers, driver exports, digital signatures (if any), and embedded strings to look for indicators of origin or additional payloads.
• Dynamic analysis: Run samples only in isolated, snapshot-capable VMs with no network or with controlled fake services to observe behavior (process creation, drivers loaded, registry changes). Do not perform this on production devices.
• Kernel analysis: If driver-level components are present, use kernel debugging tools in a lab to inspect hooking behavior and BCD/boot modifications.
• Correlation: Cross-reference hashes and filenames against threat intelligence repositories and AV vendor detections.
