Topic created on: April 29, 2009 12:42 CDT by x0rr0x .

Any public research on this available?
Only thing that comes close to what I'd be looking for would be the process stalker in paimei. But that relies entirely on the pida dump output.
tools providing more info on the internal functions of an (possibly packed) executable are always helpful...
thanks in advance

Various api loggers and reversing tutz are available online. What exactly are you looking for, a pre-built open source system?

Pin is ok. Threatexpert provides summarized info and suggestions about the recognized behavior in its reports too.
www.threatexpert.com

If open source is what yer lookin fer, you might check out 0wine.
http://zerowine.sourceforge.net/
Packer support and general malware support seems to be somewhat unreliable: "Zero wine runs malware quite well overall, however, it has problems with various packers (in example, wine fails almost always with PE programs packed with Armadillo) and sometimes you will get no data for both �Report� and �Signature� sections. Anyway, the �Headers� and �Strings� report's sections will appear giving you interesting information about the binary (although not the behavior of the malware)."
I can't imagine interesting malware distributed without being packed/obfuscated in some manner.

Good luck.

browsing gamedeceptions (gamedeception.net) forums i found this very interesting link on the subject.

gd has some pretty nice stuff on reversing btw. unless you are looking for malware specific stuff.

cheers!
