Automated Extraction of Configuration and Payloads from Sophisticated Malware
Explore an innovative solution for automated malware analysis in this 42-minute conference talk from the 44CON Information Security Conference. Delve into the challenges of reverse engineering sophisticated malware samples and discover CAPE (Automated Extraction of Configuration and Payloads), an open-source platform designed to streamline the process. Learn how CAPE combines various techniques and tools to extract payloads, configurations, and indicators from complex malware families, particularly those associated with nation-state actors. Gain insights into the system's capabilities, its potential to revolutionize threat intelligence, and how it can be expanded to combat increasingly sophisticated malware. Understand the technical aspects of malware obfuscation, manual analysis approaches, and automated techniques employed by CAPE. Witness a walkthrough demonstration of the platform and explore its extensibility features, including how to create custom packages and utilize the CAPE API for config parsing. Read more
