Module 3: Dynamic Analysis – Witnessing the Crime

Video 3.1: Preparation and Baselines

• Topics:
  • The "Snapshot" strategy: Always start from a clean state.
  • Monitoring tools: Process Monitor (ProcMon) filters—how to filter out "noise" (system idle processes) to see the "signal."
• Demo: Setting up ProcMon filters to only show file system and registry activity.

Video 3.2: Execution and Process Monitoring malware+analysis+video+tutorial+for+beginners

• Topics:
  • Running the sample safely.
  • Process Hacker: Watching processes spawn, inject, or die.
  • Persistence Mechanisms: How malware survives a reboot (Registry "Run" keys, Scheduled Tasks, Startup folders).
• Demo: Executing a sample. Watching it create a new file in C:\Users\Public and adding a Registry key to auto-start on boot.

Video 3.3: Network Traffic Analysis

• Topics:
  • Malware's need to "Phone Home" (C2 - Command and Control).
  • Setting up a fake internet (INetSim or ApateDNS).
  • Analyzing DNS requests, HTTP traffic, and Beaconing.
• Demo: Using Wireshark to capture the traffic. Identifying a HTTP POST request sending stolen data.

Part 2: Static Properties (Don't Run it Yet!)

What to search: "Static malware analysis tutorial for beginners" Module 3: Dynamic Analysis – Witnessing the Crime

Static analysis is looking at the malware without detonating it. A good beginner video will show you how to use:

• VirusTotal: Uploading a hash to see if other engines detect it.
• PE-Bear or Detect It Easy: Looking at the file headers, sections (.text, .data), and imported DLLs.
• String analysis: Using strings.exe to find embedded URLs, IP addresses, or suspicious commands.

Why you need to watch this: You will learn that sometimes, you don't need to run the malware at all. The answer is right there in the code. Topics:
