Regshot Equivalent For Mac Pro

Regshot Equivalent For Mac High SierraInstallWatch Pro is quite an old utility which works in a similar way to RegShot in that it tracks any changes made to your registry and files between 2 given points in time although this program is more specifically designed for tracking installs.
Download regshot for free. Regshot is an open-source (LGPL) registry compare utility that allows you to quickly take a snapshot of your registry and then compare it with a second one - done after doing system changes or installing a new software product.

Start with a packing demo
The UMBC Cyberdefense Team, aka the Cyberdawgs, will be meeting after this class, on Wednesdays through the semester! The location is ITE 237.
Homework 1 is due before midnight tomorrow!
2/10/2020 Configuring Virtual Machines

Regshot / Procexp demo: TheZoo IllusionBot_2007
 Check out VirusTotal: Use FLOSS to decode (base64?) strings
 Regshot: Persistence through services, WinLogonShell
 Procexp: Strings different on disk / in memory, loaded DLLs in bottom pane 
Some instructions for how to properly set up FakeNet-NG, which will be needed for HW2.
A few more slides on Chapter 3
Cuckoo Sandbox is open souce. Lots of research projects become possible!
Malware analysts should know Python, since the pefile module in Python can be used to make lots of useful tools.
We demonstrated the upx utility to compress (upx -1 or upx -9) and decompress (upx -d) files last week. 
Other packers used in malware include ASPack, PECompact, Petite, Themida, RLPack, and NSIS.
How can we tell if upx works as it should? (explain lossy vs. lossless compression)
Students may want to know how, and when, to use shared folders in VirtualBox. In Virtual Box, snapshots can be useful, and drag-and-drop can be useful, but shared folders can be problematic. 
HOMEWORK 2 homework assignment
malware, 7zipped as usual
2/12/2020 Basic Dynamic Analysis Demos useful for Homework 2
I can recommend an article on how malware authors are using VirusTotal.
Triage vs. in-depth analysis
Running a DLL with rundll32.exe
A DLL can be converted into an executable using PEid
This tutorial is a good overview of Chapter 3 in PMA.
2/17/2020 Registry RJ will continue to demo basic dynamic analysis tool, including Wireshark. 
We used some class time for Homework 2
Some resources you might want to look at. 
Use control panels and so forth to set up an internal network as described on page 57. 
Use sudo apt-get update followed by sudo apt-get install pure-ftpd to get an ftp server for Ubuntu.
2/19/2020 Assembler Language Review
Anna will be reviewing concepts from x86 assembly slides
An introduction to x64 assembly from Intel
I've heard good things about nasm, a popular assembler for Windows nasm is also available for Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install nasm
extensive documentation is available
more NASM examples
when running nasm with gcc on cygwin, it REALLY helps to have the necessary libraries, whatever they are. Building cygwin with a full install of the development tools is enough 
Charles is aware of a series of tutorials on YouTube that may be useful for learning Linux assembly 
Demonstrate searching for papers in the UMBC Library and elsewhere using the Research Port, and also the Subject Guide and related Tutorials
Look at Norman Sandbox
2/24/2020 more dynamic analysis summary of PMA Chapter 6
A simple C program that uses several control structures (pma6.c) and the assembly listing (pma6.s) generated with gcc pma6.c -Wa,-adhln -g
note: no space between Wa and -a
The -g flag causes a lot of useful information to appear in the .s file
Example: Lab 6-1 (from the end of Chapter 6) 
One way to monitor network traffic is netcat (this link seems to be a version for XP). Note that netcat runs from the command line. Is there a GUI version? 
Sandboxes have their limitations! Such as?
From this Four Day Course on Reverse Engineering offered by Kaspersky, I became aware of The PE Editor LordPE, which hasn't been updated lately but apparently still has its fans.
The Hex Editor Hiew
An Import Fixer, Universal Import Fixer 1.2
From the Reverse Engineering reddit, and this list of pen testing tools
What if somebody gives you a USB stick? Do you just plug it in your PC? Not a good idea! VMWare Player may be better for looking at USB devices than VirtualBox, since if a setting allows, it will connect to USB devices right away, without the host OS seeing 
Take a look at this list of free online malware sandboxes!
The Cuckoo Sandbox mentioned in PMA is available for download. You'll want to install it on Linux, preferably a box dedicated to that.
This BlackHat talk and associated white paper has lots of information about Cuckoo
An online malware sandbox based on Cuckoo is available at http://www.malwr.com, and visualize the results using https://www.malwareviz.com/
You don't have to keep your Ubuntu environment current, but there are reasons to do so. Update manager is very capable.
It is often (but not always) good to have Virtual Box install guest additions as well as extensions.
2/26/2020 
RJ demonstrates IDA. The freeware version of IDA is available on the Flare VM we provide.
FLIRT is a feature of IDA that helps with analysis of functions.
The old freeware version of IDA, which runs on Windows XP, is available here. (UMBC only)
We may do some of exercises 1-9 from the end of chapter 5 as a demo.
3/2/2020 more on assembler, IDA, and Ghidra For the latest on Corona, see this UHS web site.
RJ will be doing a demo of Ghidra
Homework 4 has been released. The malware specimen is on Google Drive.
I have come across a series of YouTubes that deal with Ghidra: Lesson 1 Introduction
Lesson 2 UI
Lesson 3 Windows Tools Part 1
Lesson 3 Windows Tools Part 2
Lesson 3 Windows Tools Part 3
Lesson 3 Windows Tools Part 4
Lesson 4 Exploit 'Phoenix'
Lesson 5 Structures
3/4/2020 more with Ghidra Malware and the Windows API (ppt)
This online tool may be an alternative to IDA and Ghidra. 
Heard about the Shellshock bug? So have I. My friend Steve Bagley has some thoughts. See also this post to Hack Like a Pro.
Another alternative to IDA is radare. It can be used in visual mode, or through the command line. Its documentation is extensive, and the price is right. 
If you want to learn more about Radare..tutorial on RE for 64-bit
Alternatives to IDA exist, such as Hopper for OS X and Linux.
I like Dr. Fu's site. 
3/9/2020 still more Ghidra More on Ghidra homework.
Following Malware Execution - inspired by PMA slides
Here is a malware example, as a password-protected zipfile (zip) with password 'malware' without the quotes
As practice for the midterm. answer these questions: (1) what is the length and SHA-256 hash for this binary? (easy) (2) what, if anything, raises your suspicions in the IMPORTS table? (somewhat easy) (3) using IDA or the disassembler of your choice, what is it that makes this file malicious? what function does something bad? there may be several good answers to this question. we can then discuss in class.
The midterm exam has been scheduled for late March, exact date TBD.

Peter Drucker's article 'Managing Oneself' appeared in the January, 2005 issue of Harvard Business Review. The paper is not being assigned as part of this course, but if you as an authorized UMBC library patron and wish to read it, here it is. 
The link is supposed to work from a UMBC IP address only. 
Demonstrate use of ImmDbg For programming in C and related languages on Windows, I prefer code::blocks, which is available open-source, for both Windows and UNIX.
A demo of Code::Blocks (5 minutes, audio quality is only fair.)
The Pelles C compiler is also an option.
For a detailed introduction to Immunity, see Nardella's paper from SANS Institute.
Go over Exercise 9-02 from PMA. Part 1 (48 minutes) Part 2(40 minutes)
Trying again, sharing these two presentations. Have modified panopto permissions so that anyone with the link can access. Let me know if access is still a problem!

The results of this questionnaire will be used by promotion and tenure committees as part of the instructor's evaluation. The Direct Instructor Feedback Forms (DIFFs) were designed to provide feedback to instructors and they are not intended for use by promotion and tenure committees.
