Security Operations Centers (SOCs) are flooded with questionable files daily—flagged by EDR, XDR, and other detection tools. These alerts can contain everything from harmless scripts to advanced persistent threats. To determine which is which, many teams rely on manual reverse engineering—a time-intensive, skill-dependent process that often takes hours or even days to complete.
This delay in understanding what a suspicious file actually does leads to serious consequences:
- Delayed identification of malicious payloads
- Slow containment of threats
- Gaps in reporting and response coordination
CodeHunter: A Smarter Path Forward
With automated reverse engineering, CodeHunter transforms how SOC teams analyze suspicious files. By replacing manual workflows with a streamlined, transparent, and scalable process, CodeHunter reduces investigation times from hours to minutes with no highly specialized skills required.
Here’s how it works:
- Ingestion via API or UI:
Files are submitted through a secure API or the CodeHunter platform, either manually by analysts or automatically via EDR/XDR/SIEM integrations.
- Automated Behavior Analysis:
Once received, CodeHunter detonates the file in a secure sandbox environment. It performs static disassembly, dynamic execution tracing, and advanced AI-driven analysis. Using proprietary behavioral rules, CodeHunter reconstructs control and data flows to detect obfuscated logic and hidden payloads, llike a human reverse engineer would, but at speed and at scale.
- Verdicts Delivered in Minutes:
CodeHunter returns a clear, high-confidence verdict: Malicious, No Threat Found, or Trusted. Each verdict is accompanied by a validation score, rationale, and a human-readable explanation of the file’s behavior.
- IOC and Threat Intelligence Correlation:
The platform automatically extracts Indicators of Compromise (IOCs), including file hashes, IPs, URLs, and domains. It also maps detected behaviors to MITRE ATT&CK Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) for greater threat visibility.
- Actionable Remediation Guidance:
Unlike legacy sandboxes that require a skilled analyst to interpret results, CodeHunter provides remediation steps tailored to each threat’s behavior.
The Business Impact? Transformational.
CodeHunter doesn't just enhance SOC workflows—it completely redefines them. With CodeHunter time to reverse engineer a file drops to less than 15 minutes and MTTR lowers to under an hour. By removing the manual burden of reverse engineering, your team can focus on what matters: detecting, responding to, and preventing attacks. Learn how CodeHunter can integrate into your existing security stack for threat remediation that’s fast, at scale, and with confidence here.
