Malware Analysis

Malware is intrusive software designed to damage or exploit computer systems, with various types including viruses, worms, and ransomware. Malware analysis involves detecting and understanding the behavior of suspicious files to mitigate threats, offering benefits such as identifying attack sources and assessing damage. There are two main types of analysis: dynamic, which runs malware in a controlled environment, and static, which examines the malware file directly using various tools.

computer security as well as the safety and
security of an organization with regard to sensitive
information..
Key Benefits of Malware Analysis
• Identifying the source of the attack
• Determining the damage from a security
threat
• Identifying a malware’s exploitation level,
vulnerability, and appropriate patching
preparations
Malware Analysis Types
• There are 2 types of malware analysis:

1. Dynamic malware analysis


2. Static malware analysis
Dynamic Malware Analysis
• In dynamic malware analysis, a suspected
malicious code is run in a safe environment
called a sandbox.
• This isolated virtual machine is a closed system
that allows security experts to observe the
malware closely in action without the risk of
system or network infection.
• This technique provides deeper visibility of the
threat and its true nature.
Steps to do Analysis
• MD5 Analysis
