Various 'must have' Online Tools for Sec, pt 1

There are two updates to this post, (seen in white )... UPDATE : another good online static malware analysis tool we all know and love, is back up and running. Based on the Cuckoo Sandbox: ~]  Malwr.com  [~ There's many tricks and trade secrets that we (or anyone within cybersec) just don't share. We have decided that there are just some online tools just too good to keep a secret. If they do, they arent around for long, a kind of respect thing. I have another shortlist of very handy online tools at the bottom of our most recent reversing and analysis ~] decoding a malicious webshell  [~ . These play a big part in our processes and used several times daily. Some of these below you may be familiar with, or not, or maybe even use already. If not, you should commit these to memory. Trust us, these will always come in handy. This is only a shortlist, we will add more/update as appropriate. The first you hopefully are quite familiar with, if you are not using this rel...

I combed through dozens of writeups, mostly by reputabl...

Hidden in Plain Sight - Uncovering the 'New' Malware.

Over the years I have seen and worked on my share of malware, watched as the vulz and exploits come and go. After a few years in frey, one becomes very attuned to the world that's surrounds them. This sixth sense is an asset and more valuable now than any other time, welcome to the new era of malz. This is a hidden world, where silence, stealth and pure imagination contribute to what is normally a quiet infection. Distinguished with highly-complex coding, persistence and it's signature polymorphic design. Those involved in cybersec know of this new breed, stealth and delivery, as well as those who design and code them. This is a journey leading to, and the analysis of a recent live malware discovery by myself. This write-up will highlight the importance of a full skill set and how that sixth sense comes into play.
