Generic unpackers are debuggers that have been prescripted to unpack specific packers or to automate the manual unpacking process, which we will describe in the next section:
Figure 5: The QuickUnpack tool in detail
They are more generic and can work with multiple packers, even if the packers were not designed to unpack their files: however, malware can easily escape from these tools, which may lead to the execution of the malware on the user's machine. Because of this, you should always use these tools on a virtual machine or in a safe environment.
