specialized-file-analyzer

Solid

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. Claude runs the extraction and deobfuscation tooling on the host itself; nothing is executed.

# Specialized File Analyzer Expert analysis of non-PE file formats commonly used in malware campaigns: .NET, Office documents, PDFs, scripts, HTA files, disk images, archives, and Linux binaries. ## When to Use This Skill Use this skill when analyzing: - **.NET/C# assemblies** (.exe, .dll with .NET framework) - **Office documents** with macros (.docm, .xlsm, .doc, .xls) - **PDF files** (suspicious attachments, exploit documents) - **Scripts** (PowerShell .ps1, VBScript .vbs, JavaScript .js) - **HTA files** (.hta — HTML Applications executed by mshta.exe) - **Disk images** (.iso, .img, .vhd, .vhdx — container formats that bypass MOTW) - **Archives** (.zip, .rar, .7z, .tar.gz) - **Shortcuts** (.lnk files) - **Linux binaries** (ELF executables) - **Batch files** (.bat, .cmd) **Key indicator:** `file` command shows non-PE32 executable or document type. ## Execution Model - **You run the commands.** Every `bash` block in this skill is for you to execute on the host, then read and interpret. Do not ask the user to run tools and paste output unless a tool is missing and cannot be installed. - **Locate skill files.** Scripts and reference files ship in this skill's directory. Set `R="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-<dir containing this SKILL.md>}"` once (when installed as a plugin `$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT` is set; otherwise it is this skill folder). Your working directory is the user's analysis workspace, so prefix every script path below with `$R`, e.g. `python3 "$R"/scripts/ioc_extract.py`...
