Description: Malware forensics is the process of investigating malware incidents to determine their cause and impact. This field combines digital forensic analysis techniques with specific knowledge about malware, allowing experts to identify how malicious software was introduced into a system, what kind of damage it caused, and how future attacks can be mitigated or prevented. Malware forensic analysts examine files, system logs, and network traffic to reconstruct malware activity, using specialized tools that allow them to disassemble and analyze malicious code. This process is crucial not only for recovering affected systems but also for providing valuable information to enhance organizations’ cybersecurity defenses. Malware forensics is essential in the context of ethical hacking, as it helps companies understand their systems’ vulnerabilities and implement more effective security measures. Additionally, the ability to trace and analyze malware can be fundamental in legal investigations, where the aim is to attribute responsibility and sanction attackers. In a world where cyber threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated, malware forensics has become an indispensable discipline for information security.
