A company wants to perform analysis of a tool that is suspected to contain a malicious payload.
A forensic analyst is given the following snippet: ^32^[34fda19(fd^43gfd/home/user/lib/module.so.343jk^rfw(342fds43g Which of the following did the analyst use to determine the location of the malicious payload?
Click on the arrows to vote for the correct answer
A. B. C. D.B.
The forensic analyst used binary reverse-engineering to determine the location of the malicious payload in the given snippet. Binary reverse-engineering is the process of analyzing a compiled binary code to understand its functionality, structure, and behavior.
In this case, the analyst likely disassembled the binary code, examined its assembly instructions, and traced the execution path to identify the location of the payload. The given snippet includes a path to a module.so file, which may be the location of the payload.
Code deduplicators and fuzz testing are techniques used to identify vulnerabilities and eliminate redundancies, respectively. They are not relevant in this scenario.
Security containers, on the other hand, are used to provide secure environments for running applications and processes. While they may help protect against malicious payloads, they do not directly help in analyzing or detecting them.
Therefore, the correct answer is B. Binary reverse-engineering.
