Meet us at the briefing in Black Hat USA 2022!
Briefing Title: A New Trend for the Blue Team – Using a Practical Symbolic Engine to Detect Evasive Forms of Malware/Ransomware
Date: 4:20PM – 5:00PM PT, Wednesday, Aug. 10, 2022
Speakers: Sheng-Hao Ma, Mars Cheng, Hank Chen
We believe there may be a new tool in the Blue Team’s toolbox, through the use of a symbolic execution engine to detect and analyze suspected malware/ransomware binaries. Using our practical symbolic engine based on the combination and improvement of academic and practical research, you can identify and detect various exploit, techniques, and multiple malware/ransomware variants via symbolic signature attack techniques and ransomware behaviors in a fully static situation. Even if the malware binary is obfuscated, we can still statically analyze it and detect it effectively. Our plan is to make our engine available to the community via open source during Black Hat USA 2022, to help give back to the infosec community and help Blue Teams save time on an ongoing and difficult problem.
