The prevalence of malware packing has correlated with the rise of the usage of malware in cyber attacks. Our project primarily focuses on the research of malware packing techniques and how to mitigate them. We explored various tools and techniques that can be used to mitigate the packing techniques.

Our goal for this project is to use our findings to assist analysts when they analyse malware as packing techniques make malware more resilient to detection and analyse. We also looked into static and dynamic analysis of malware using Ghidra and CapeV2 sandbox respectively to understand the entire workflow malware analyst go through to understand malware.
