This section explores the sophisticated techniques used by malware to evade detection and analysis, equipping students with the skills to counter these defensive measures. The introduction sets the stage by explaining the concept of anti-analysis tactics employed by malware. Subsequent lessons dive into anti-debugging methods that hinder debugging tools, and anti-virtual machine (anti-VM) techniques that detect and avoid running in virtualized environments. Finally, the section addresses anti-antivirus (anti-AV) strategies, illustrating how malware bypasses traditional security software. Through practical examples and detailed explanations, students gain insights into recognizing and overcoming these self-defense mechanisms, a critical aspect of malware analysis.
