Dynamic analysis is a type of analysis that requires live execution of the code. In static analysis, the farthest we can go is with deadlisting. If, for example, we encounter a code that decrypts or decompresses to a huge amount of data, and if we want to see the contents of the decoded data, then the fastest option would be to do dynamic analysis. We can run a debug session and let that area of code run for us. Both static analysis and dynamic analysis work hand in hand. Static analysis helps us identify points in the code where we need a deeper understanding and some actual interaction with the system. By following static analysis with dynamic analysis, we can also see actual data, such as file handles, randomly generated numbers, network socket and packet data, and API function results.
There are existing tools that can carry out an automated analysis...
