Challenges of Malware Analysis: Obfuscation Techniques

Özet

It is a big concern to provide the security to computer system against the malware. Every day a millions of new malware are developed and the worse thing is that new malware are highly sophisticated which are very difficult to detect. Because the malware developers use the various obfuscation techniques to hide the actual code or the behaviour of malware. Thereby, it becomes very hard to analyze the malware for getting the useful information in order to design the malware detection system because of anti-static and anti-dynamic analysis technique (obfuscation techniques). In this paper, various malware obfuscation techniques are discussed in detail.
