🛡️ Advanced File Sandbox Analyzer

A professional security analysis tool for files, featuring hash analysis, fuzzy hashing, Base64 content detection, and comprehensive HTML reporting.

✨ Features

• SHA-256 Hash Analysis - Calculate and verify file hashes
• Fuzzy Hashing - Similarity-based detection using ssdeep-like algorithm
• Base64 Content Detection - Scan for encoded content, including executable detection
• File Type Validation - Verify file extensions match actual content
• File Metadata Extraction - Get detailed file information
• Real-time Monitoring - Monitor files for changes
• Quarantine System - Isolate suspicious files
• Comprehensive HTML Reports - Beautiful, detailed analysis reports
• Responsive UI - Modern Windows interface with resizable window
