​
Expertise Level

Choose your expertise level to help DECODA calibrate the depth of its responses:
  • Beginner — More explanations, simpler terminology, educational context
  • Intermediate — Balanced technical detail with some explanation
  • Expert — Dense technical output, assumes deep knowledge

​
Work Role

Your role helps the AI tailor its analysis perspective:
  • Student — Learning-focused with conceptual explanations
  • SOC Analyst — Alert triage and detection-oriented
  • Malware Researcher — Deep static analysis focus
  • Threat Hunter — TTPs, detection rules, and adversary behaviour
  • Incident Responder — Timeline, IOCs, and containment actions
  • Security Engineer — Architecture and defence recommendations
Your expertise level and work role work together with the analysis perspectives to shape how the AI communicates. You can change these at any time.

​
Analysis Preferences

​
Auto-Triage on Upload

When enabled (default), every uploaded file automatically goes through the triage pipeline — hashing, YARA scanning, VirusTotal lookup, and classification. Disable this if you prefer to trigger triage manually.

​
Ghidra Dialect

Controls the verbosity of Ghidra script output:
  • Standard — Concise output focused on key findings
  • Comprehensive — Full detailed output including all function metadata

​
Output Format Options

Toggle what gets included in reports and analysis output:
  • Include IOCs — Automatically extract indicators of compromise
  • Include MITRE Techniques — Map findings to ATT&CK framework
  • Include YARA Rules — Generate detection rules from findings

​
VirusTotal Integration

DECODA includes built-in VirusTotal lookups during triage using the platform’s shared API key. For higher rate limits and additional features, you can add your own VirusTotal API key.

​
Adding Your API Key

  1. Go to Settings > Preferences
  2. Find the VirusTotal section
  3. Enter your API key
  4. Toggle Enable VT Lookups on
Your API key is encrypted with AES-256-GCM before storage. DECODA never exposes your key in logs or API responses.

​
Auto-Detect

When enabled, DECODA automatically performs a VirusTotal lookup on every uploaded sample during triage. Disable this to only run VT lookups when explicitly requested.

​
