Malware Analysis Using Reverse Engineering Internship

About Internship

Associate Professor, Department of Computer Science Engineering, from Vellore Institute of Technology, Vellore (VIT Vellore), is accepting interns interested in the field of Computer Science Engineering, in the research area of Cyber Security.

This project could revolutionize the field of malware investigation by paving the way for innovative tools that can comprehensively grasp how malware interacts with a computer's resources. Unlike conventional antivirus software, which relies primarily on hash values for malware detection – a method that can be easily bypassed by encrypted malware – this project aims to introduce a more robust approach. By harnessing the insights and computations demonstrated in this project, we can develop tools capable of identifying the presence of specific malware and conducting in-depth analysis through a similarity index. This advancement promises to enhance our ability to detect and thwart sophisticated malware attacks, including ransomware assaults. In essence, this project offers the potential to usher in a new era of cybersecurity, where advanced malware attacks can be proactively analyzed and prevented, ultimately strengthening the security of computer systems against evolving threats. This project will be a catalyst, unlocking the gateway to developing next-generation malware analysis and detection tools.
