Enhancing Malware Analysis Using AI
This system uses AI to provide a comprehensive solution for malware analysis, integrating both dynamic and static techniques. Users submit malware samples, which are analyzed in a controlled Windows 7 64-bit sandbox environment. Dynamic analysis observes and records key interactions like API calls, while static analysis examines the file's structure using PE header parsing, Yara rules, and digital signature verification. Machine learning models are employed in both analysis stages for accurate malware classification. The system then delivers clear results, including classification, behavioral reports, and structural insights, aiding cybersecurity professionals in threat mitigation.
