Malware Analysis
Found something suspicious? Our analysts dissect malware to reveal exactly what it does, how it spreads and how to stop it — giving you the indicators and understanding to eradicate it and prevent reinfection.

What this means. An authorized Solvex administrator registered and approved this exact public identity. What it does not. Solvex has not inspected the account on the platform, and this is not the platform's own verification.
Solvex specialists never ask for your passwords, recovery phrases, one-time codes, or payments to a personal account. Work, scope and invoices are agreed in writing through the official channels on this site.
Signed authorization required. This engagement is performed only against systems you own or are contractually authorized to have tested, under an agreed scope. See the responsible testing policy.

What you receive
- Malware analysis report with capabilities and behaviour
- Extracted IOCs and detection signatures
- Impact assessment
- Eradication and hardening guidance
- Executive summary
Evidence and reporting
How the work is kept honest- Evidence, frozen at issuanceFindings tie to something observed. When the report is issued, the evidence behind it is frozen in the same transaction and cannot be edited afterwards.
- A signed reportAn Ed25519 signature covers both the report content and the delivered file. Alter a byte of either and verification fails.
- Signed scope firstTesting starts only after written scope and signed authorization for systems you own or are entitled to have tested.
Anyone holding a Solvex report can verify it publicly without seeing its contents.
Our boundaries
What this engagement does not do, stated before it starts.
- Analysis of samples related to your own incident or environment
- No development or weaponisation of malware
- Handled only in secure, isolated conditions
- No distribution of live samples
How this engagement runs
- 01
Intake
Tell us the system, the goal and the constraints. If the work is not a good fit, we say so before anyone is invoiced.
- 02
Scope and authorization
Written scope and signed authorization before anything is touched. Security testing runs only against systems you own or are contractually entitled to have tested.
- 03
Investigation or build
Specialists matched to the work. Findings are proven by hand — scanner output is a lead, never a finding.
- 04
Evidence
Every finding ties to something observed. When a report is issued, its evidence is frozen in the same transaction, so what backed the report cannot change afterwards.
- 05
Delivery
A signed report: an Ed25519 signature over both the content and the file, with a short verification reference you can read down a phone.
- 06
Verification and retest
Anyone holding the report can verify it publicly without seeing its contents. Fixes are retested as part of the engagement — “fixed” means we confirmed it.
Questions we are asked
- What will analysis tell us?
- What the malware does, how it persists and communicates, what data it may have touched, and the indicators to hunt for it elsewhere — everything you need to eradicate it confidently.
- How do we send you a sample safely?
- We provide secure submission instructions. Never email a live sample around your organisation — we handle everything in isolated, controlled conditions.
- Can you tell if data was stolen?
- We assess the malware's exfiltration capabilities and, combined with forensic and log analysis, help determine what data was likely accessed or taken.
