A technical blueprint for an event-driven malware pre-triage pipeline using TrID, Shannon Entropy, and Mandiant Capa to eliminate high dynamic-analysis costs by identifying suspicious files prior to sandbox execution.

Static Malware Analysis & Threat Triage

File Signature & Structure Identification (TrID)

Payload Entropy Analysis & Anomaly Detection

Executable Capability Mapping (Mandiant Capa & MITRE ATT&CK)

Serverless Architecture Design (AWS Lambda)

Teaches security engineers how to build a multi-signal static inspection pipeline that combines structural file identification, selective entropy checks, and rule-based capability mapping to reduce false positives and prioritize high-risk samples before dynamic sandboxing.
