Every component of Aegis Guard is optimized for minimal system impact while maintaining maximum detection accuracy.
Concurrent scanning with configurable thread count. Files are distributed across workers for parallel processing, utilizing all CPU cores efficiently.
Files are read in 8KB chunks for MD5 hashing. The heuristic analyzer caps reads at 2MB per file, preventing memory spikes on large files.
PE analysis uses fast_load=True and only
parses the import directory — skipping unnecessary sections for faster analysis.
