more Anti-Unpacking Tricks
Author: PeterFerrie # Views: 2931

Today, Virus Bulletin (www.virusbtn.com) has started to publish my follow-up paper.  Next month begins the series of all new, never-seen-before tricks.  Everyone should subscribe to VB, so they don't have to wait for a month each time to get it free from my site. :-)

did you find them or just rip them from new malware :) ?

The CARO paper and the one in Virus Bulletin this month describe techniques from malware.  From next month, the techniques are all my research, which no-one has ever used before.

Got them! Good stuff. Anyway, is it going to be like 10 anti-unpacking tricks per month?

I don't know yet how it will be split.  It's 32 pages long, and contains lots of text as well as code, so some parts will have more tricks than others.

re:  From next month, the techniques are all my research, which no-one has ever used before.

I wonder how relesing the paper such as this differentiates from relesing new virus zin?

Because they're not viruses.
I'm releasing the techniques to take away the advantage that the bad guys have.  If they found the techniques first, then they could use them before we even knew that they existed.  Now, no-one has the advantage.  Of course, if I could have released to only good guys, I would have done that, but I don't know who they are.
