I’d guess the former, given it’s tiny compared to normal droppers, but you can never be sure these days.

This sample is a multi-platform ‘polyglot’ binary acting as a dropper and potentially a browser-based exploit. It functions as a Windows PE (with no standard imports, suggesting custom shellcode or manual API resolution), a Linux shell script, and an HTML/JavaScript file. The Linux component contains a command (‘tail -c+4294 $0 | lzma -dc > /tmp/a’) that extracts and executes a hidden payload from its own body. The embedded JavaScript is obfuscated and uses ‘eval’ to execute dynamically generated code. This structure is typical of sophisticated malware or cross-platform exploit delivery kits.
