Analysis on Unknown Malware - Assistance Requested
Hi,
Currently snagged a bit of malware trying to run its course on my workstation. However, instead of cleaning it, I have pacified it and am now attempting to gut and analyze it out of personal interest and to further knowledge of security analysis. I've already done the initial data collection and a bit of sleuthing but ran into a couple snags that I'd like assistance on if possible. If anyone here is capable and curious I'd like to proceed on this thread, otherwise if they have any other forum or resource they'd like to recommend to direct my attention too that will better suit this kind of request then I'd gladly accept that too.
I'll post details I've garnered so far under condition that I receive notice that others are interested in it. I will say that Trend Micro detected only some of its activity (attempting to access certs on illegitimate sites) but not the actual offending items (I have, however). I have not ran it through other AV software yet to determine virus definitions, so for now it is considered an unknown strain.
Thank you for your consideration in the matter. I hope this ends up becoming a worthy adventure that people may profit from.
