Malware Analysis Using Reverse Engineering

Mission of the Project

The mission of this project is to research and analyze malware applications using open source tools, identify malicious activities by reverse-engineering the binary and source codes, and understand the landscape of products in the marketplace.

Project Summary

This project aims to analyze malware applications using open source tools, identify malicious activities by reverse-engineering the binary and source code. The project aims to analyze malware programs having source code such as xTBot and LokiRat, and that do not have the source code (x86 malware, such as Trojan.Agent.CVYB). The project will rely on common binary analysis tools such as IDA Pro, WinDbg, FORESEE, and develop malware related risk mitigation approaches within the enterprise.

Project Team: Andy Pham, Cynthia Marcellus, Josh Rowland, Nathan Rowe, Shamour Jones

Research:

In this milestone, the group will research Malware Analysis Using Reverse Engineering.

Implementation and Testing:

In this milestone, the group will transition from research into implementation, testing, and risk mitigation documentation.



Results and Presentations:

In this milestone, we will share our evaluations on the selected open source and enterprise tools, and how they fit into the evolving landscape of malware prevention and protection.
