In order to understand malware comprehensively, it is essential to employ various analysis techniques and examine it from multiple perspectives. These techniques include behavioral, network, and process analysis during sandbox analysis, as well as static and dynamic analysis during reverse engineering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I (Lena aka LambdaMamba), prefer to begin with sandbox analysis to understand the malware\u2019s behavior. The insights from sandbox analysis provide a foundational understanding of what to anticipate and what specific aspects to investigate during the reverse engineering process. Recognizing what to look for is crucial in reverse engineering because malware authors often employ a myriad of tricks to mislead analysts, as will be demonstrated in this reverse engineering walkthrough. We will also be taking a look into how malware can be modded to make analysis easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s dive right into it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This sample has 4 stages, dynamic code execution, code reassembly, obfuscation, steganography, junk code, and various other anti-analysis techniques. We\u2019ll eventually get into fun things like modding the malware, so stay with me here!<\/p>\n\n\n
