A Mega Malware Analysis Tutorial Featuring Donut-Generated Shellcode
1 min read
Summary
An in-depth malware analysis tutorial looking at an infection chain has been produced by Palo Alto Networks’ Unit 42 threat intelligence team.
It starts with a sample of malware and works through each part of the infection chain, from beginning to end, assuming no prior knowledge.
By the end, readers should have a better understanding of many components of the infection chain as well as the family of the final payload.
It covers both static and dynamic analysis to build a complete picture of the malware.
Unit 42 analysts record every step of the analysis and include their thought processes in the hope that it will help less experienced malware analysts in their daily work.
The tutorial is available in its entirety on the Unit 42 GitHub page and includes a downloadable PDF.
