Malware Analysis Services

    Expert analysis of malicious code to identify threats, understand their behavior, and prevent future infections.

    Understanding Malicious Software

    Malicious software poses significant risks to organizations and individuals. At West Forensics, our malware analysts dissect these digital threats. We examine code, behavior, and infrastructure connections. This helps identify attack sources and mitigate damage.

    We employ both static and dynamic analysis techniques. Static analysis examines code without execution to identify capabilities. Dynamic analysis observes malware behavior in controlled environments. Additionally, we analyze network communications and file interactions. This multi-faceted approach reveals complete threat profiles.

    Our malware investigations address various threat types. We analyze ransomware to assist recovery efforts. We examine trojans and backdoors to identify compromised systems. Furthermore, we investigate specialized threats targeting specific industries. Each analysis follows strict containment protocols.

    Malware analysis

    Our Malware Analysis Approach

    Static Analysis

    We examine malware without executing it, analyzing code structure, strings, dependencies, and encryption techniques to identify capabilities and behaviors.

    • Code structure examination
    • String and constant analysis
    • Import/export table inspection
    • Obfuscation identification

    Dynamic Analysis

    We run malware in isolated environments to observe its actual behavior, network connections, system changes, and interactions with other components.

    • Controlled execution monitoring
    • Network traffic capture
    • System modification tracking
    • Memory forensics

    Advanced Threat Intelligence

    Beyond basic analysis, we provide comprehensive threat intelligence. We identify indicators of compromise for detection purposes. We determine attribution where possible through code and infrastructure analysis. Moreover, we recommend specific remediation steps. This actionable intelligence helps prevent future incidents.
