Architecture & Engineering Deep Dive
DarkStrike is an isolated behavioral analysis cluster built for rapid triage of suspected malware campaigns.
Features:
• Dynamic execution of PE binaries, PowerShell scripts, and weaponized PDFs in hardened micro-VMs.
• Memory forensics using Volatility to uncover hidden code injection and process hollowing.
• Automated extraction of Command & Control (C2) domains, IP addresses, and encryption keys.
• Immediate output of production-ready YARA rules for enterprise EDR integration.
