Score meaning

Triage uses 1 - 10 scoring to reflect whether an analysis is malicious or not. The following is an explanation of what each score means and what can cause this score.

Note: it is important to look at the actual signatures that were triggered. The score is determined by these.

10

Known bad

Examples:

  • A malware family was detected.
8-9

Likely malicious

One or more known damaging malware attack patterns were detected.

Examples:

  • The deleting of shadow copies on Windows.
5-7

Shows suspicious behavior

One or more suspicious actions were detected. The detected actions can be malicious, but also have (common) benign uses.

Examples:

  • Changing file permissions.
  • Anti-VM behavior/trying to detect a VM.
2-4

Likely benign

One or more interesting behaviors were detected. The detected actions are interesting enough to be notified about, but are not directly malicious.
