Maldoc Analysis with ViperMonkey, (Thu, Aug 10th)

We received another Emotet maldoc, but this time the analysis with VBA emulator ViperMonkey will have to be done differently.

ViperMonkey is still under development, and for this maldoc, it does not manage to execute the code that reveals the base64 payload. But when we use ViperMonkeys option -a to use an alternate parser, we can extract the base64 payload.

The maldoc was delivered inside a password protected ZIP file.

This time, I made a video of the static analysis process:
