I’ve been wanting to post write-ups about different CTF’s and challenges that I have done, and I’m finally getting round to doing it. And as I’ve been recommended to use Cutter when performing Static Analysis, I decided to kick of the challenge section with some of MalwareTech’s static RE challenges, which you can find here. […]
If you haven’t seen my last post about Hancitor, check it out here as I explain how this binary gets onto your machine through a malicious word document. As always, you can download this sample – both the document and embedded binary – on VirusBay. Let’s begin the analysis! MD5 of Sample: 992f079a832820c61388f753dab1114d I have only had a brief […]

As it seems Hancitor is quite popular for downloading the Pony and ZeusPanda malware (what is it with animals and malware?), I decided to […]
