There are two main types of malware analysis: static and dynamic.
Performing static analysis of a malicious binary means concentrating on analysing its code without executing it. This type of analysis may reveal to malware analysts not only what the malware does, but also its developer’s future intentions (e.g., currently unfinished functionalities).
Dynamic analysis looks at the behaviour of the malware when it’s run – usually in a virtual sandbox. This type of analysis should reveal the malware’s behaviour and any detection evasion techniques it uses.
Malware analysis benefits security analysts by allowing them to, among other things:
* Identify hidden indicators of compromise (IOCs).
* Boost the effectiveness of IOC notifications and warnings.
* Triage incidents according to severity.
* All the malware analysis tools listed below can be freely downloaded and used.
