Malware analysis comprises of use of different tools & methods to identify the key activities being performed by the malware. The investigation also includes identifying the mischievous or hidden activity being performed by a genuine application program. Many times freeware/ shareware programs are distributed in the community for the purpose of stealing user information and to compromise the end user systems. With day by day increase in computation power & with ease of availability of resources (online tutorials, cloud hosting infra), attackers are now able to develop complex malwares that can bypass antivirus programs. Attackers often use encryption to hide detection. Therefore, use of static & dynamic approaches is key to effective malware analysis.
