ClubHack 2007: Analysis of Adversarial Code – The Role of Malware Kits

Just came back from Pune after Presenting at ClubHack 2007. It was such a great initiative to promote security awareness in India. I talked about the recent trend in the emergence of kits like MPack and how attackers are exploiting them to install various Malware. You can find my slides below:

Hacking the Malware– A reverse-engineer’s analysis

ABSTRACT

This paper attempts to document an approach on how the hackers make use of the vulnerabilities to install malicious software on the vulnerable machine. A comprehensive reverse code engineered analysis of the malicious software (Win32.Qucan.a) and the various protection schemes against the worm by various security products are also discussed.

I hope this document will help the Malware researchers, Intrusion Analysts and other Security professionals to conduct a more viable and comprehensive research.
