Dynamic and Static Malware Analysis

This diploma thesis focuses on the issue of malware analysis, which today plays an indispensable role in the field of cybersecurity. The theoretical part of the thesis introduces the general concept of malware and methods of its static and dynamic analysis. The practical part includes the design and setup of an isolated testing environment, in which selected malware samples are analyzed using a combination of static and dynamic methods. The obtained results include, among other things, the identification of certain behavioral elements, network communication, and obfuscation techniques that are not described in detail in publicly available sources. These findings are further compared with already published information about related samples and supplemented with a commentary on their meaning and functionality. The thesis provides a comprehensive view of the analyzed type of malware and offers practical insights that can be used for further study or for designing security measures.
