You Should Know:

1. Handling Malware Safely (For SOC Analysts)

Before diving into reverse engineering, you must know how to handle malware safely in an isolated environment.

  • Use a Sandbox:
    Create a disposable Linux sandbox using Docker 
    docker run --rm -it --network none ubuntu bash 
    
  • Analyze Suspicious Files in a VM:
  • Use VirtualBox or VMware with snapshots enabled.
  • Disable shared folders and networking to prevent infection spread.

2. Basic Reverse Engineering Tools

  • Linux Tools:
    Install radare2 (Reverse Engineering Framework) 
    sudo apt install radare2
    
    Analyze a binary 
    r2 -d suspicious_file 
    

  • Windows Tools:
  • Ghidra (NSA’s open-source reverse engineering tool)
  • IDA Pro (Commercial disassembler)
  • x64dbg (Debugger for Windows binaries)

3. Extracting Strings from Malware

 Extract strings from a binary (Linux) 
strings malware_sample.exe > strings_output.txt

Use FLOSS (FireEye Labs Obfuscated String Solver) 
floss malware_sample.exe 

4. Dynamic Analysis with Sysinternals (Windows)

  • Process Monitor (ProcMon) – Monitor file/registry changes.
  • Process Explorer – Check running processes and DLLs.
  • Wireshark – Capture network traffic from malware.

5. Disassembling with objdump (Linux)

 View assembly code of a binary 
objdump -d malware_sample.exe -M intel 

What Undercode Say:

Reverse engineering is a critical skill for cybersecurity professionals, especially in malware analysis and incident response. Mastering tools like Ghidra, radare2, and x64dbg will help you dissect malicious software effectively. Always analyze malware in a controlled environment to avoid accidental infections.

For those interested in binary research, this webinar is a golden opportunity to learn from an industry expert.

Expected Output:

  • Malware Analysis Report (Strings, API calls, network activity)
  • Disassembled Code (Understanding malicious logic)
  • Behavioral Analysis (Registry, file changes, process injections)

Prediction:

Reverse engineering will become even more crucial as malware evolves with AI-driven obfuscation techniques. Future SOC analysts will need automated reverse engineering tools powered by machine learning to keep up with advanced threats.
