Read Fingerprint and At a glance#
Copy the three headline hashes from one card, then take the entropy, signing, packer, and family facts that decide your next move from the card beside it.
The Overview tab opens with two cards side by side: Fingerprint on the left, At a glance on the right. They are the first read on any file, before you dig into a specialist tab.
Fingerprint#
The Fingerprint card is the file's identity in three rows: MD5, SHA-1, and SHA-256. Click any row to copy the hash to your clipboard.
These three are the universal handles you use to share the sample with another tool or a teammate. The full hash set, including SSDEEP, IMPHASH, and TLSH, lives in the Report panel on the right.
At a glance#
The At a glance card collects the facts that drive triage.
- Entropy appears as a numeric value and as a meter from 0 to 8.0. The meter has no colour: the value is the fact. The bucket label (
low,normal,high,packed) is on the entropy profile in the Static tab. - Signed is
yesfor an Authenticode-signed binary,nofor a PE without a signature, or a dash for a non-PE file. - Packer names the packer, if the analyser detected one.
- Imports counts PE imports. The parenthesised count gives the imports flagged as anomalous.
- Strings counts the strings of interest extracted from the file.
- Family names the first YARA rule that matched.
The card hides rows that do not apply to this file. A plain text file with no YARA matches shows only the entropy row.
When the analyser fails#
If the analyser hit an error before it produced results, a banner reading Analysis Error appears above these cards. The hint reads The analyzer didn't complete. Some sections may be empty or stale. Use Re-analyze in the queue to retry.
