Dynamic analysis techniques for applications

Abstract:

A virtualized storage for use in performing dynamic analysis of a sample is configured, at least in part by copying the sample to the virtualized storage. A virtual machine emulator is launched using a snapshot of a virtualized platform. A location of the copied sample in an image corresponding to the virtualized storage is determined, at least in part by identifying an offset. The copied sample is installed and dynamic analysis is performed on the sample.
