Cyber Crime Malware Assignment - Malware Analysis & Reverse Engineering

Introduction - The aim of this assessment is to analyse a given sample of malware, using static & dynamic analysis and reverse engineering.

Static & Dynamic Analysis -

You must use your existing knowledge of static and dynamic analysis methods and tools to analyse the sample.

Reverse Engineering -

You must first do some research on assembly control flow constructs (conditional and unconditional). Then you must research how to reverse engineer the sample using suitable tools (e.g. IDA, Olldbg etc.).

Examining the disassembled code, you should answer the following questions:

1. Identify one procedure call. Explain what this function does by stepping through the code and explaining the effects it has on the registers and memory.

2. Identify one conditional and one unconditional control flow construct in the code. Again, step through the code and explain the effect these constructs have on the stack and registers.

NOTE: You should include screenshots of the disassembled code, clearly marking the code you are describing.
