TTAnalyze: A Tool for Analyzing Malware

Tags:
network security

Overview Malware analysis is the process of determining the purpose and functionality of a given malware sample (such as a virus, worm, or Trojan horse). This paper presents TTAnalyze, a tool for dynamically analyzing the behavior of Windows executables. To this end, the binary is run in an emulated operating system environment and its (security-relevant) actions are monitored. In particular, they record the Windows native system calls and Windows API functions that the program invokes. One important feature of the system is that it does not modify the program that it executes (e.g., through API call hooking or breakpoints), making it more difficult to detect by malicious code.
