SWF file unpacking with REVEN
Source: wikimedia commons Recently we took a look at a new flash player exploit used by the Angler exploit kit. The sample was obfuscated using the well known ‘packing’ technique: the dropped swf file embeds a second stage swf in the form of an encrypted blob that will be decrypted...
REVEN in your toolkit
Reven provides many analysis tools but still might lack some of your favorite tool features. To address this issue we created a Python API to allow you to create and share plugins. We also developed some ourselves to make REVEN’s interaction with external tools possible. Universal debugging The Gnu debugger...
Decoding function arguments
Today I will show you a feature that is pretty useful when analysing an application. We call it the “arguments decoder”, and it displays the content of a function’s arguments when its prototype is known. The latter’s definition can be either extracted from the msdn function and structures, or given...
