Análisis estático y dinámico de una muestra de malware en sistemas Microsoft Windows XP para determinar qué efectos produce sobre un sistema infectado

Abstract

This project reports the results of the analysis of a malware sample from the family “Trojan Ransomware”, known as the Police Virus. This analysis uses a methodology that includes static and dynamic analysis techniques in a controlled and isolated environment, based on Microsoft Windows XP. During the analysis, the activity and the actions of the sample were monitored and registered in the infected operating system. After this, the countermeasures to avoid infection and to eliminate the malware once it has affected a certain system, are shared, indicating step by step the process for its elimination.
