FAQs & Mission

Goal of Threat Insights Portal​

The goal behind Threat Insights Portal was to create a free, community-driven platform that helps to analyze malware or malicious files.

The idea was simple: bring tools together in one place and provide a unified summary to help people stay safe and avoid accidentally running malware or other threats.

At its core, Threat Insights Portal uploads files to popular online analysis platforms such as VirusTotal, ANY.RUN, Triage, and others. It then consolidates the resulting reports into a single, easy-to-understand summary.

Over time, the project grew beyond just being a report aggregator. It now includes a community where users can share opinions, analysis, and verdicts with one another. New features were added to enhance malware detection and analysis, including:

  • Extracting file metadata
  • Displaying readable content
  • Identifying interesting strings
  • Unpacking files to access embedded source code or components
  • Mapping relationships between files
  • Extracting malware configurations

And more

There is also a download feature that allows users to retrieve files and share them with the community.

Despite its growth, the core mission remains unchanged: to offer a free tool that helps users avoid malware infections and to foster a global cybersecurity community focused on awareness and safety.​

Frequently Asked Questions​

1. "You already have too many running reports"

🔸 This means your account is already using the full number of allowed parallel tasks (default: 3).
🔸 Or you're not logged in and using the default guest user, which also has a limit of 3 tasks.

2. AnyRun has problems with my file

🔸 Sometimes when a file is uploaded to my site and forwarded to AnyRun, its integrity might somehow change (common with NSIS or other packers).
🔸 If AnyRun doesn't run it properly, just open a ticket or ping me in #chatt . I’ll rerun it with max/custom settings.

3. Weird strings got extracted, why?

🔸 Extracting strings from binary files can produce odd or unrelated results.
🔸 If you see strange strings, just #create-ticket and send me the report. I’ll check it out.

4. I have a suggestion or an idea

💡 Ping me or use #create-ticket — I’m always open to feedback! You can also drop ideas in #suggestions on the discord.

5. False positive or missed malware

🚫 If you find false positives or undetected malware, please ping me or #create-ticket . I’ll gladly fix the report or detection.

6. How can I support the project?

🙌 Just upload new or unknown malware and share the public reports — that already helps a lot!
