Malware Analysis & Sandboxing
An end-to-end malware workflow for static/dynamic analysis, YARA rule authoring, and safe sandbox setup.

What it does
- Walks through static analysis step by step: file identification, hashing, threat-intel lookups, PE imports, string triage and entropy scoring.
- Ships reference tables of suspicious Windows APIs grouped by injection, persistence, anti-analysis, C2, crypto, credential access and evasion.
- Generates three tiers of YARA rules (hash-specific, family-level, network IOC) with proper meta blocks plus commands to test against benign binaries.
- Interprets Cuckoo/CAPE sandbox reports: process trees, beaconing, registry/file changes, and maps observed behavior to MITRE ATT&CK technique IDs.
- Classifies samples into families (ransomware, RAT, infostealer, cryptominer, dropper) and compares variants using ssdeep fuzzy hashing.
- Provides a hardened lab blueprint: isolated VM, host-only networking, snapshots, INetSim/FakeNet, Regshot, plus anti-anti-VM tuning.
- Outputs a standardized analysis report template with hashes, host/network IOCs and ATT&CK mapping.
Who it's for
- SOC analysts, incident responders and threat hunters
- Blue teamers who write their own YARA/Sigma detections
- Security learners practicing malware triage in isolated labs
Examples
- "Triage this suspicious EXE: dump imports, strings and section entropy, then tell me how risky it looks."
- "Build a family-level YARA rule from these three loader samples and give me the false-positive test command."
- "Here's a CAPE JSON report — summarize behavior, map it to MITRE ATT&CK, and produce the IOC report block."

Paste this into Claude to use the skill without installing anything.
Read the instructions in this file and follow them to help me: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Masriyan/Claude-Code-CyberSecurity-Skill/HEAD/skills/05-malware-analysis/SKILL.md What I want: (describe your task here)
If Claude can't open the link, open it yourself and paste the contents instead.
↓ If it works for you, download the ZIP below and install it. Then it runs on its own — no pasting each time.
Install in the Claude app (no terminal)
- Download the ZIP with the button below.
- In Claude, open Settings → Capabilities and turn on 'Code execution and file creation'. (one time)
- Go to Customize → Skills → + → 'Upload a skill' and upload the ZIP.
Install in Claude Code
Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code
Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart. Copy the skills/05-malware-analysis folder from the GitHub repo Masriyan/Claude-Code-CyberSecurity-Skill into my ~/.claude/skills/malware-analysis-sandboxing/. When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.
Install with a command instead
git clone https://github.com/Masriyan/Claude-Code-CyberSecurity-Skill.git /tmp/ccs && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r /tmp/ccs/skills/05-malware-analysis ~/.claude/skills/malware-analysis⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.
- Open a terminal and clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/Masriyan/Claude-Code-CyberSecurity-Skill.git - Create the skills directory:
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills - Copy just this skill:
cp -r Claude-Code-CyberSecurity-Skill/skills/05-malware-analysis ~/.claude/skills/malware-analysis - Install Python dependencies:
pip install yara-python pefile python-magic requests ssdeep - Optionally install the YARA CLI, ssdeep and Volatility 3 through your OS package manager.
- Important: before touching real samples, prepare a dedicated VM with host-only networking and a clean snapshot to restore after each detonation.
- Restart Claude Code and trigger it with a request like "statically analyze this suspicious binary and generate a YARA rule."
