Strings are ASCII and Unicode-printable sequences of characters embedded within a file. Extracting strings can give clues about the program functionality and indicators associated with a suspect binary. For example, if a malware creates a file, the filename is stored as a string in the binary. Or, if a malware resolves a domain name controlled by the attacker, then the domain name is stored as a string. Strings extracted from the binary can contain references to filenames, URLs, domain names, IP addresses, attack commands, registry keys, and so on. Although strings do not give a clear picture of the purpose and capability of a file, they can give a hint about what malware is capable of doing.
