Malware Analysis when you don't have time for Malware Analaysis

Presented at Kawaiicon 2 (2022) Rescheduled, July 1, 2022, 1:45 p.m. (30 minutes).

Something has been compromised, stress levels are at an all-time high, the CISO is quietly looking at seek. The incident response team are feverishly working through their detection, containment and elimination process but they have questions. Is this binary malware? Is it ransomware? Is there a C2? This talk will cover some of the quick and dirty malware analysis methods that can help the incident responders to make better decisions, without taking weeks.
