  2. Malware analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malware_Analysis

    Malware analysis is the study or process of determining the functionality, origin and potential impact of a given malware sample such as a virus, worm, trojan horse, rootkit, or backdoor. [1] Malware or malicious software is any computer software intended to harm the host operating system or to steal sensitive data from users, organizations or ...

  3. Domain generation algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_generation_algorithm

    The use of public-key cryptography in malware code makes it unfeasible for law enforcement and other actors to mimic commands from the malware controllers as some worms will automatically reject any updates not signed by the malware controllers. For example, an infected computer could create thousands of domain names such as: www.<gibberish ...

  4. Deception technology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deception_technology

    The deception is designed to lure the attacker in – the attacker may consider this a worthy asset and continue by injecting malware. Deception technology generally allows for automated static and dynamic analysis of this injected malware and provides these reports through automation to the security operations personnel.

  5. Malware research - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malware_research

    Research in combining static and dynamic malware analysis techniques is also currently being conducted in an effort to minimize the shortcomings of both. Studies by researchers such as Islam et al. [13] are working to integrate static and dynamic techniques in order to better analyze and classify malware and malware variants.

  6. Malware - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malware

    Antivirus software typically uses two techniques to detect malware: (i) static analysis and (ii) dynamic/heuristic analysis. [60] Static analysis involves studying the software code of a potentially malicious program and producing a signature of that program. This information is then used to compare scanned files by an antivirus program.

  7. Sandbox (computer security) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandbox_(computer_security)

    Security researchers rely heavily on sandboxing technologies to analyse malware behavior. By creating an environment that mimics or replicates the targeted desktops, researchers can evaluate how malware infects and compromises a target host. Numerous malware analysis services are based on the sandboxing technology. [12]

  8. Dynamic program analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_program_analysis

    Dynamic program analysis is the act of analyzing software that involves executing a program – as opposed to static program analysis, which does not execute it. Analysis can focus on different aspects of the software including but not limited to: behavior , test coverage , performance and security .

  9. SONAR (Symantec) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SONAR_(Symantec)

    SONAR 2 is part of Norton 2010 and Norton 360 v.4 antivirus software. According to the company, this version leverages data from more sources, including reputation data about a program. Therefore, SONAR 2 is able to more accurately detect security risks than it was before. [citation needed]
