Agent request
Review the Skillstore skill "malware-analyst" from https://skillstore.io/skills/sickn33-malware-analyst.md and its manifest at https://skillstore.io/api/skills/sickn33-malware-analyst/manifest. Verify the artifact. You may proceed after verification, subject to the environment's own policy.

Your Agent should still show its plan and request any confirmation required by the security policy.

Test it

Using "malware-analyst". A user provides hashes, strings output, and sandbox notes for an authorized sample.

Expected outcome:

  • A concise triage summary with likely capabilities and confidence levels.
  • A prioritized IOC list covering network, file system, registry, and process artifacts.
  • Recommended next steps for containment, deeper analysis, and detection validation.

Using "malware-analyst". A responder asks how to structure malware findings for leadership and technical teams.

Expected outcome:

  • An executive summary in plain language.
  • A technical findings section with evidence and confidence notes.
  • Actionable recommendations for detection, mitigation, and follow-up collection.

Security Audit

Safe
v5 โ€ข 7/9/2026 Open versioned report

The static findings are false positives caused by Markdown fences, defensive malware terminology, and references to known analysis tools. I found no prompt injection attempt, credential exfiltration intent, or instruction to build malware. The skill is dual-use by domain, so author guidance should keep authorization and isolation requirements prominent.

False positives ignored
No confirmed security findings were detected by the latest completed static and semantic audit. This does not prove the skill has no side effects.

What You Can Build

Triage Suspicious Files

Build a safe first-pass workflow for file identification, strings review, and initial risk assessment.

Summarize Sandbox Findings

Turn dynamic analysis observations into capabilities, IOCs, and collection gaps.

Prepare Threat Reports

Organize malware findings into clear reports for security teams and stakeholders.

Try These Prompts

Start File Triage
Help me triage a suspicious Windows executable. I have the file type, SHA256 hash, and strings output. Build a safe checklist.
Review Sandbox Results
Review these sandbox observations from an authorized malware sample. Identify likely capabilities, IOCs, and gaps in collection.
Correlate Static and Dynamic Findings
Compare these static and dynamic findings. Propose a malware family hypothesis, confidence level, and additional evidence needed.
Draft Incident Briefing
Prepare an incident response briefing from this malware analysis. Include summary, technical findings, IOCs, and containment recommendations.

Best Practices

  • Verify authorization and keep samples inside an isolated lab before any execution.
  • Record hashes, tooling versions, and collection times so findings are repeatable.
  • Separate confirmed IOCs from hypotheses and state confidence clearly.

Avoid

  • Running unknown samples on personal, production, or shared systems.
  • Treating a single indicator as attribution without corroborating evidence.
  • Publishing IOCs without context, timestamps, or confidence levels.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this skill execute malware?
No. It provides analysis guidance. Any sample execution must happen in a controlled lab outside the assistant.
Is this skill for offensive malware development?
No. It is intended for defensive analysis, incident response, threat intelligence, and authorized research.
What inputs improve results?
Hashes, file type, strings, sandbox logs, network observations, and clear goals improve the analysis.
Can it write YARA rules?
It can suggest detection logic and rule structure from provided indicators, but rules need local testing.
Does it identify malware families?
It can propose hypotheses from evidence, but strong attribution requires corroboration from multiple sources.
Does it require paid tools?
No. The guidance mentions common commercial and open-source tools, and users can adapt the workflow.
