Abstract
Malware is a multipurpose attacking software that can be used in a variety of cyberattacks, from encrypting a government institution’s data using ransomware to installing adware on the local cyber-cafe. Due to its high-risk factor and harm to businesses and individuals, multiple malware analysis tools are available to investigate malicious software. This paper focuses on comparing different tools for analysing malware across the different malware analysis types i.e., Static, dynamic/behavioural, code and memory analysis. The objective of this research is to enable cyber and malware analysts a detailed reference of tools in terms of accuracy, ease of use, community support and most importantly the tools' analysis capability.
Organisations such as the Health Service Executive (HSE) of Ireland and Medibank an Australian health insurance company may benefit from this comparative analysis given their recent malware attack in 2021 and 2022 respectively.
