Packed and Obfuscated Malware
Obfuscated and Packed Malware
Obfuscated programs are ones whose execution the malware author has attempted to hide.
Packed programs are a subset of obfuscated programs in which the malicious program is compressed and cannot be analyzed.
Packing Files
The code is compressed, like in Zip file
This makes the strings and instructions unreadable
All you'll see is the wrapper – small code that unpacks the file when it is run
