In an era of continually evolving cybersecurity threats, understanding and mitigating malware is paramount. The behavioral analysis of malware is a key approach to understanding the functionality and impact of new or evolved malware strains on affected systems. This thesis aims to perform a comprehensive behavioral analysis of emerging malware strains, to elucidate their functionalities, propagation methods, and potential mitigation strategies.
This project will focus on all or some of the following tasks:
- To conduct a detailed behavioral analysis of emerging malware strains.
- To identify unique behaviors, propagation methods, and evasion techniques employed by these malware strains.
- To propose mitigation strategies based on the behavioral analysis.
- Setting up controlled, isolated environments for malware execution.
- Selection and setup of behavioral analysis tools and frameworks.
- Execution of malware samples and data collection.
This project is in collaboration with the national police.
