File scanning

How NeroBot analyzes your submitted file

When you upload a file to NeroBot, it undergoes an in-depth security inspection powered by AI-driven threat detection and multi-layer analysis. This process ensures that your files are safe before they are used or shared.

1. File preprocessing and Metadata extraction

As soon as a file is uploaded, NeroSentinel extracts key metadata, including:

• File type and format verification

• Hash values (SHA-256, MD5) for unique identification

• Structural analysis to detect potential anomalies

If the file matches a known fingerprint in our database, an instant reputation check is performed.

2. Multi-Layer threat scanning

The file is analyzed using a combination of advanced techniques:

• Signature-based scanning to detect known malware patterns

• Heuristic analysis to identify suspicious behavior in unknown threats

• Embedded content inspection to scan within compressed archives, macros, or scripts

3. AI-Driven Behavioral Analysis

For complex threats, NeroSentinel uses AI to simulate execution patterns and detect hidden dangers. This includes:

• Identifying obfuscation techniques used to bypass traditional security scans

• Predicting potential threats based on anomaly detection and threat intelligence

4. Real-Time Sandbox Execution

If necessary, the file is executed in a secure sandbox environment, where its behavior is monitored for:

• Unusual system modifications or registry changes

• Attempts to establish unauthorized network connections

• Code execution patterns similar to known malware

This step ensures that even zero-day threats are properly assessed.

5. Risk Scoring and Detailed Reporting

After the analysis, NeroBot generates a comprehensive risk report, which includes:

• The overall safety score of the file

• Identified threats and potential security risks

• Recommended actions
