: Usually contains a single file named Lab01-01.exe and a matching DLL ( Lab01-01.dll ). 2. Static Analysis Findings
: The malware attempts to beacon out to a hardcoded domain. If the domain is unreachable, it may enter a "sleep" state to avoid detection. Host-Based Indicators : Creation of a new service.
: Upon execution, the malware typically copies itself to the system32 folder under a masked name to ensure it runs every time the computer boots. SSIsab-004.7z
: Tools like PEview reveal that the EXE and DLL are often compiled around the same time, suggesting they work together.
This stage involves running the malware in a sandboxed environment (like Any.Run or a private VM) to monitor its behavior. : Usually contains a single file named Lab01-01
: Typically infected (the standard password for malware samples in a lab environment).
The file is an encrypted archive typically used in educational malware analysis labs and cybersecurity competitions (such as CTFs). It contains a known malicious sample (often a Windows executable) designed to teach students how to perform basic static and dynamic analysis. Laboratory Analysis Write-up: SSIsab-004 1. File Identification and Integrity If the domain is unreachable, it may enter
: Block the specific C2 IP address discovered in strings and delete the masked kerne132.dll file from the system directory.
