Evasion dynamic analysis
Automated and manual analysis have comparable attributes, notably their execution within a virtualized environment, which can be readily identified if it’s not set or fortified well. The majority of sandbox/analysis detection techniques focus on examining particular aspects of the environment (such as limited resources and indicative device names) and artifacts (such as the existence of specific files and registry entries).
Malware creators often employ various techniques to evade dynamic analysis by security researchers and automated sandboxes. Dynamic analysis involves executing malware in a controlled environment to observe its behavior. Malware evasion techniques aim to detect the presence of analysis tools or virtual environments and alter the malware’s behavior accordingly.
Malware might introduce delays or sleep periods before initiating malicious activities. This helps it evade detection as automated analysis systems often have time...
