Malware Analysis

Understand Every Threat at the Binary Level

When a suspicious file hits your environment, we dissect it completely — extracting indicators of compromise, building detection rules, and telling you exactly who sent it and why.

Overview

What Is
Malware Analysis?

Malware Analysis & Reverse Engineering goes beyond antivirus detection to understand exactly what a malicious file does, how it communicates, and what data it targets. Our analysts perform both static analysis (examining code structure, strings, and imports without execution) and dynamic analysis (running samples in isolated sandboxes to observe real behaviour). The result is a complete threat picture: command-and-control infrastructure, persistence mechanisms, data exfiltration paths, and attribution to known threat actor groups using MITRE ATT&CK TTPs.

What's Included

Everything You Get

Static Binary Analysis

PE/ELF header inspection, string extraction, import table analysis, and code disassembly using IDA Pro and Ghidra.

Dynamic Sandbox Analysis

Controlled execution in isolated environments to observe network calls, registry changes, file drops, and process injection.

IOC Extraction

Comprehensive extraction of C2 domains, IPs, file hashes, registry keys, and mutex names for immediate defensive use.

YARA Rule Generation

Custom YARA signatures derived from unique malware characteristics to detect the same family across your entire estate.

Threat Actor Attribution

Mapping of TTPs to MITRE ATT&CK to attribute samples to known threat actors and predict their next moves.

Defensive Recommendations

Concrete guidance on patching, network blocks, EDR rule updates, and security control improvements to prevent re-infection.

Our Approach

How It Works

1

Sample Intake

Secure submission of the malicious file or memory dump. We establish chain of custody for forensic integrity.

2

Static Analysis

Disassembly, decompilation, and string analysis to understand code structure without executing the malware.

3

Dynamic Analysis

Controlled sandbox execution with full network, file system, and registry monitoring to capture runtime behaviour.

4

Report & Detections

Full written report with IOCs, YARA rules, TTPs mapped to ATT&CK, and a debrief call with your security team.

Why It Matters

Business Benefits

Understand the Full Attack Chain

Know exactly what the malware did, what data it touched, and whether exfiltration occurred — critical for breach disclosure decisions.

Detect Future Variants

YARA rules and IOCs enable your SIEM and EDR to catch the same malware family the moment it reappears, anywhere in your estate.

Attribute Threats to Actors

Understanding who targeted you informs your threat intelligence programme and helps prioritise your defensive investments.

Support Legal & Regulatory Action

Forensically sound analysis with chain of custody documentation supports law enforcement referrals and regulatory breach notifications.
