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.

A comprehensive guide for analyzing PCAP files captured during malware execution. It demonstrates advanced techniques using Wireshark, Zeek, Suricata, and Python (scapy) to identify Command and Control (C2) communications, data exfiltration channels, Domain Generation Algorithms (DGA), and periodic beaconing patterns. Essential for malware reverse engineering and network threat detection.

This skill provides a comprehensive workflow for identifying, unpacking, and analyzing packed malware samples, especially those utilizing the UPX format. It details methods for standard UPX decompression and advanced techniques for repairing modified PE headers or magic bytes that prevent automated extraction. The process supports preparing samples for deep static analysis and dynamic debugging.

This comprehensive toolkit provides deep static analysis capabilities for suspicious PDF documents. Using tools like PDFiD, pdf-parser, and peepdf, it identifies embedded malicious structures—including JavaScript code, shellcode, auto-actions, and exploit kits—without opening or rendering the file. It is essential for security analysts conducting threat triage, forensic investigation, and assessing potential attack vectors from suspicious attachments.

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).

This tool leverages the Rekall memory forensics framework to conduct deep analysis of memory dumps. It is designed to detect sophisticated threats such as process hollowing, injected code via VAD anomalies, hidden operating system processes, and rootkit presence. It applies key forensic plugins (pslist, malfind, vadinfo) essential for rigorous incident response and malware analysis.

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.

A comprehensive guide for analyzing firmware images from embedded systems, IoT devices, routers, and specialized components like UEFI/BIOS. This skill covers advanced techniques including filesystem extraction, binary reverse engineering (using Ghidra/IDA), rootkit detection, and deep forensic analysis to uncover backdoors, implants, and supply chain compromises. Essential for cybersecurity professionals investigating compromised hardware.

A comprehensive guide for digital forensics professionals on analyzing volatile memory dumps using Volatility 3. Learn to extract critical evidence, including running processes, network connections, loaded DLLs, system credentials, and detecting advanced threats like process hollowing and rootkits. Essential for incident response and malware analysis.

A comprehensive skill for detecting and analyzing malicious behavior in mobile applications (Android/iOS). It employs multi-layered security analysis, including static indicator checking (permissions, manifest), dynamic instrumentation (Frida), network traffic monitoring, and automated scanning (MobSF). Use this skill when investigating suspicious apps for data exfiltration, C2 communication, or unauthorized access.
