A comprehensive, step-by-step guide for security professionals to perform deep-dive malware analysis. It covers methodologies for static analysis (disassemblers, imports), dynamic execution (sandboxing, monitoring), identifying Indicators of Compromise (IOCs), and structuring professional threat reports. Essential for incident response and threat intelligence.

This guide details the process of performing static analysis on potentially malicious PDF documents. It utilizes advanced tools like peepdf, pdfid, and pdf-parser to extract embedded JavaScript, shellcode, and suspicious objects. Use this method when triaging suspicious attachments from phishing emails or conducting deep forensic examination of weaponized document artifacts to generate actionable Indicators of Compromise (IOCs).

A comprehensive guide for deep packet inspection and network forensics using Wireshark and tshark. This skill is critical for incident response, where it allows users to capture, filter, and analyze network packet data to identify malicious command-and-control traffic, diagnose complex protocol issues, extract indicators of compromise (IOCs), and reconstruct data exfiltration paths. Use it for validating security rules and understanding network anomalies.

A comprehensive system for systematically collecting, categorizing, and enriching Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) from various sources (network logs, memory dumps, email, etc.). It supports the entire incident response lifecycle, ensuring structured data representation using STIX/TAXII formats for robust threat intelligence sharing and defensive system automation.

This skill provides a comprehensive workflow to extract Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) from malware samples and analysis reports. It covers file hashes (SHA256, MD5), network artifacts (IPs, domains, URLs from strings and PCAPs), and host-based indicators (registry keys, file paths, mutexes) from sandbox reports. It is essential for threat intelligence sharing, building blocklists, and creating detection signatures (YARA, Snort).

A comprehensive guide and workflow for digital forensic investigators to analyze ransomware artifacts. This process involves preserving volatile evidence (memory dumps), identifying the ransomware variant from file extensions and ransom notes, establishing the attack timeline using Prefetch and Event Logs, and extracting critical Indicators of Compromise (IoCs) such as Bitcoin addresses and Tor sites. Essential for incident response and recovery planning.

CAPE is an open-source sandbox built for automated malware analysis, derived from Cuckoo. It provides advanced behavioral monitoring, payload dumping, and configuration extraction using over 70 parsers for known malware families (e.g., Emotet, Cobalt Strike). It captures network IOCs, dropped files, and detects anti-evasion techniques, making it ideal for security assessments and incident response workflows via its robust API.
