Our Approach
A Malware Analysis is carried out in various phases to ensure clear planning and delivery model.
- Fully-automated analysis: We first analyse the malware using fully-automated tools understand what malware is capable of. This is the fastest method to analyse large quantities of malware.
- Static properties analysis: The static properties analysis includes analysis of hashes, embedded strings, embedded resources, and header information etc.
- Interactive behaviour analysis: IWe then observe the interactive behaviour of the malware to see if the malicious file tries to attach to any hosts. This give us a better understanding how malware works over automated tools.
- Manual code reversing: Reversing the code of the malicious file can decode encrypted data that was stored by the sample by using the debugger and disassembler.
