1. Triage: file type, architecture, hashes, strings, imports, sections, entropy, and obvious packers.
2. Static map: functions, control flow, cross-references, key constants, and data structures.
3. Dynamic observation: run in a safe lab, trace files, registry, network, child processes, and exceptions.
4. Debug critical paths: breakpoints around parsing, crypto, authentication checks, and dangerous APIs.
5. Document findings: purpose, inputs, outputs, trust boundaries, and likely vulnerability points.
