A Collaborative Distributed Virtual Platform for Forensic Analysis of Malicious Code
Malicious software is prevalent in many forms with the potential for many types of malware to be downloaded while browsing the Internet using an unprotected system. The potential impact can be irreparable harm to a computer file system or even place a person in a situation where they could be charged for a criminal act, if the perpetrator assumes control of their system. Understanding contemporary forms of malware is crucial in order to prepare better defences against it as well as investigate related incidents and claims. Therefore forensic analysis of specific malware, requires specialised tools and techniques and is of significant importance for information security professionals.
