File scanning
Zero-Trust Protocol for File Defense
Every uploaded file is treated as a potential weapon until it is proven clean. Nero Sentinel enforces a layered inspection pipeline that extracts, dissects, and stress-tests each file before it can be trusted.
Phase I: Metadata Extraction
Immediately upon upload, the file is fingerprinted and profiled:
Verification of type and format integrity
Hash generation (SHA-256, MD5) for unique identity
Structural analysis to expose anomalies or tampering If the hash matches an entry in intelligence databases, an instant reputation verdict is delivered.
Phase II: Multi-Layer Threat Scanning
The file is subjected to parallel scanning techniques:
Signature Analysis: Matching against known malware patterns
Heuristic Profiling: Detecting suspicious traits in unknown samples
Embedded Content Inspection: Decompressing archives, parsing macros, and scanning hidden scripts
Phase III: AI-Driven Behavioral Simulation
For complex or obfuscated samples, Nero Sentinel applies predictive AI to simulate execution and anticipate threats. This includes:
Detection of polymorphic or obfuscation techniques
Anomaly recognition compared with live threat intelligence
Behavioral mapping that forecasts likely malicious outcomes
Phase IV: Contained Execution
When uncertainty remains, the file is executed inside a hardened sandbox. Observed behaviors include:
Attempts to alter critical system or registry paths
Unauthorized outbound communications
Execution flows mirroring known malware families
This phase ensures even zero-day exploits are captured and neutralized.
Phase V: Risk Intelligence Output
A comprehensive report is generated, providing:
A definitive safety score and classification
Detailed threat indicators with evidence trails
A clear directive: proceed, quarantine, or block
📌 Outcome: Nero Sentinel transforms file scanning from a surface-check into a battlefield-grade inspection cycle. Every artifact is stripped, tested, and challenged until its intent is revealed, ensuring no hostile payload passes undetected.
