Chapter 7: Advanced Dynamic Analysis Part 2 – Refusing to Take the Blue Pill
In the previous chapter, we discussed advanced dynamic analysis techniques for collecting tools, techniques, procedures, and other intelligence from malicious samples.
We'll build on techniques we've covered previously in order to examine some of the more advanced topics available to us as malware analysts in the dynamic analysis of samples we may obtain during our tenure.
After we cover each of these topics, you'll also have the opportunity to try your luck against a sample that will allow you to practice each of these techniques and check your understanding of the topics covered. While not a real-world sample of malware, the tricks and techniques utilized in its creation are reflective of real-world samples.
We will cover the following topics:
- Leveraging API calls to understand malicious capabilities
- Identifying common anti-analysis techniques
- Identifying instructions...
