12 Phases. 228 Engines. Zero Guesswork.

The system opens your file and answers the most basic question: what is this thing? It reads the first few bytes to identify the format. ELF files start with 7F 45 4C 46. PE files start with MZ. Once identified, the engines extract the internal structure: executable code, data, strings, and compiler metadata.

Machine code is just numbers. The number 0x55 on an x86 processor means "push the base pointer." This phase figures out the processor architecture and translates every machine instruction into human-readable assembly language.

Maps every decision point — every if/else, every switch statement, every loop. The result is a control flow graph showing every possible path through the code. Hidden behavior starts to surface here: functions that only execute on specific dates, code paths that activate on network failures.

Tracks heap allocations, stack usage, pointer relationships, and buffer boundaries. Finds buffer overflows and use-after-free errors automatically — the most common and most dangerous class of software vulnerabilities.

Traces every piece of data from entry to sensitive operation. Taint analysis marks untrusted data and follows it through every transformation. If user input reaches a format string function without sanitization, this phase flags it.

Classifies every function by purpose: cryptographic operations, networking, file manipulation, process injection, privilege escalation, anti-analysis techniques, and persistence mechanisms. Determines whether a connect() call is a legitimate HTTPS request or a covert command-and-control channel.

Translates assembly back into C-like pseudocode with inferred types and meaningful variable names. Replaces var_28h with encryption_key based on usage context. The result is code readable by anyone with basic programming knowledge.

Compares against 8.7 million malware signatures, known CVEs, compiler fingerprints, and API behavior databases. If the binary uses broken cryptography like DES-ECB, this phase flags it. If it matches a known malware family, this phase identifies the variant.

All technical analysis is translated into professional, structured English. The NLG engines produce fluid, contextual narratives tailored to 10 distinct analysis profiles. A Malware Analyst report emphasizes kill chains. A Compliance Auditor report emphasizes regulatory controls.

Cross-references findings against patterns from thousands of binaries to calibrate confidence scores. A finding confirmed by multiple independent techniques gets higher confidence. A finding relying on a single heuristic gets a lower score with an explicit caveat.

240 automated QA checks verify: evidence references point to real bytes, claims are supported by analysis techniques, confidence scores are consistent, narrative matches underlying data, internal terms are removed. Nothing reaches you without passing all 240 checks.

Binary executed in a sealed QEMU sandbox with no network access. Watches runtime behavior: file creation, network attempts, system calls, and memory mutations. Runtime data is correlated with static analysis from all previous phases.
