🛠️ How It Works

1. Select a file using the "Browse File" button.
2. Click "Scan for Malware".
3. The tool will:
   • Generate the file's SHA-256 hash.
   • Compare it against a database of known malware hashes.
   • Perform optional heuristic analysis for keywords like payload, trojan, exploit, etc.
4. It will then show an alert if malware is detected or confirm the file is safe.

🧠 What is Zero-Click Malware?

Zero-click malware is malicious code that exploits software vulnerabilities without requiring the user to click, open, or interact with a file. This tool aims to detect such threats before they are executed.
