Dynamic Analysis Workflow

Dynamic analysis reveals runtime behavior:

Pre-Execution Setup:

Start network capture
Enable process monitoring
Configure registry monitoring
Prepare file system tracking
Take VM snapshot

Execution Monitoring:

# Monitor with Procmon
procmon /Quiet /Minimized /BackingFile malware.pml

# Capture network traffic
netsh trace start capture=yes

# Monitor DNS queries
ipconfig /displaydns > dns_before.txt
# Execute malware
# ...
ipconfig /displaydns > dns_after.txt

Behavioral Indicators:

File creation/modification
Registry key manipulation
Network connections
Process creation
Service installation
Mutex creation
API hooking
