Making Obsolete Malware Viable with Packing

Speaker: Mihai Stancu

Abstract:

The security trend today is to stop security threats even before they
arrive on the target machine or system.

With that in mind we will explore, what packers are and what they do to
transform original malicious code in into something that is much harder to
confidently mark as a threat.

This talk will be focused on executables in the PE format running on the
Windows platform and during the presentation we will form a basic
understanding of the executable structure, packing technique, and other
anti-dumping and anti-debug techniques work to protect and run the original
payload.
