To obfuscate the malware code and evade detection

To compress the malware to save disk space

To package multiple malware components together

To facilitate easier distribution of the malware

What is memory forensics in malware analysis?

Analysis of a computer's physical memory to find evidence of malware

Analysis of how much memory malware consumes

Analysis of memory management techniques used by malware

Analysis of memory leaks caused by malware

Which of the following is NOT a common indicator of compromise (IOC)?

Unusual outbound network traffic

Unexplained registry or system file changes

Unusual account creation or modification

What is the YARA tool used for in malware analysis?

A pattern matching tool designed to identify malware based on text or binary patterns

Yet Another Remote Administration tool for controlling infected systems

A tool for removing malware from infected systems

A tool for creating malware signatures

What is the relationship between static and dynamic analysis in a comprehensive malware investigation?

They complement each other to provide a more complete understanding

They are mutually exclusive approaches

Static analysis always precedes dynamic analysis

Dynamic analysis is always more effective than static analysis

What is the purpose of attribution in malware analysis?
