Complete reverse engineering of binaries, drivers, firmware and malicious artifacts — including threats built specifically to defeat conventional analysis.
Capabilities
Advanced malware analysis. Full static and dynamic analysis of complex samples: loaders, droppers, rootkits, bootkits, ransomware, and implants operating in kernel space. We recover the complete execution chain rather than stopping at first-stage behaviour.
Unpacking and deobfuscation. Custom packers, virtualized and mutated code, control-flow flattening, string and API obfuscation, and anti-debugging, anti-VM and anti-analysis defences.
Protocol and format reversing. Reconstruction of proprietary network protocols, configuration structures and file formats, including encrypted or compressed command-and-control channels, sufficient to build detection and emulation tooling.
Firmware and driver analysis. Reverse engineering of kernel drivers, embedded firmware images and privileged components, with assessment of the attack surface they expose.
Closed-source component review. When source is unavailable, we analyse third-party binaries to determine what they actually do, what they expose and what risk they introduce.
Methodology
Analysis is performed in instrumented, isolated environments, combining disassembly and decompilation, kernel and userland debugging, emulation, dynamic binary instrumentation and targeted scripting. Findings are validated by reproduction, not inference.
Deliverables
- Technical report: capabilities, execution chain, persistence, privilege use and network behaviour.
- Indicators of compromise and detection content — YARA rules and network signatures.
- Extracted configuration, credentials and infrastructure where recoverable.
- Attribution indicators, stated with explicit confidence levels.
- Executive summary and presentation of results.
