Use a dedicated Linux analysis machine with IDA and Hex-Rays, following the user guide. Keep samples and result projects outside the source checkout. IDBs contain sample bytes and need the same handling precautions as the original binaries.
The controller sends code excerpts, tool results, and investigation context to the configured model provider. These can include strings and bytes from the sample. Approve that transfer before analyzing confidential material.
In the supported Linux configuration, IDA workers run with network access disabled. Model-authored IDAPython runs against disposable database copies. Byte-extraction scripts use a restricted sandbox that blocks networking, process creation, and new file opens.
Samples and recovered executables are not launched as programs. Limited instruction emulation is available for static analysis. The controller retains its connection to the model provider, and the analysis host still processes untrusted files.
