TeMerc Guide To Malware Forensics

I've written up a fairly small guide to malware forensics, be it pretty basic tho.
Didn't get into any sort of file analysis or code dissection.

It's just something for those looking to get into playing with malware to better understand it. How it spreads, infects a machine, how it displays symptoms and makes changes to the system.

Be sure you've got a machine to sacrifice as things can get pretty ugly and I've crushed my test machine a couple of times and had to reformat to get things back up and running.

Hope you enjoy it and please feel free to comment good, bad or whatever.

Zombie to Botnet to.....?

A security researcher thinks the botnet as it's become to be known as needs to be called something else. Their reasoning is that it no longer properly describes the level of activity that it does. Got any suggestions?

Got Pop Ups? Spyware? Unknown Rogue Apps?

Then you may have something on your system which you didn't ask for. Likely you're not sure where you even go it.

But help is just a few clicks away. Find out if your system is dragging due to malware installed, using up your CPU and making regular normal day to day operations a real painfully slow process.

With a HijackThis! log file I can help you find and remove these bits of annoying software\files\folders registry entries.

And it won't take 3 days. Or 5 days. Or 10 for that matter. I can get you going right away.

Join the forum and drop your log into the Countermeasures: Extraction Help section.

I'm waiting.
