9) Next steps I can perform
- Provide specific command lines and small C# test harness code to register/invoke the OCX and capture outputs.
- Draft YARA and Sysmon rules from discovered indicators once you provide the file or static output (hashes, strings, imports).
- Walk through a live analysis session if you can share the OCX file (ensure authorized transfer).
- For 64-bit Windows (most cases):
regsvr32 C:\Windows\SysWOW64\fast2001.ocx - For 32-bit Windows:
regsvr32 C:\Windows\System32\fast2001.ocx
