### Phase 3: Static Analysis
1. **Load in disassembler**: IDA Pro, Ghidra, or Binary Ninja
2. **Identify main functionality**: Entry point, WinMain, DllMain
3. **Map execution flow**: Key decision points, loops
4. **Identify capabilities**: Network, file, registry, process operations
5. **Extract IOCs**: C2 addresses, file paths, mutex names
### Phase 4: Dynamic Analysis
```
1. Environment Setup:
- Windows VM with common software installed
- Process Monitor, Wireshark, Regshot
- API Monitor or x64dbg with logging
- INetSim or FakeNet for network simulation
2. Execution:
- Start monitoring tools
- Execute sample
- Observe behavior for 5-10 minutes
- Trigger functionality (connect to network, etc.)
3. Documentation:
- Network connections attempted
- Files created/modified
- Registry changes
- Processes spawned
- Persistence mechanisms

## Use this skill when
- Working on file identification tasks or workflows
- Needing guidance, best practices, or checklists for file identification
## Do not use this skill when
- The task is unrelated to file identification
- You need a different domain or tool outside this scope
