Okay, everyone, let's wrap up our Mauer Obstacles module with a brief summary

00:07

in the Malware Challenges module, we review different ways that malware can hinder our analysis.

00:13

First we looked at Packers. We reviewed the different types of packers, how they work, and we looked at different ways to examine our binaries to see if a Packer has been implemented.

00:25

Then we looked at different types of obfuscation techniques that now where authors like to employ to hide their Mauer's true intent.

00:34

In these sessions, we looked at how X or base 64 encryption works,

00:39

how to recognize these constructs and how they're implemented. Finally, we reviewed a number of different ways that malware can detect if our lab is in a virtual environment.

We also examined how network can employ anti debugging and anti disassembly techniques in an effort to thwart analysis.
