Overview of this book

Binary analysis is the process of examining a binary program to determine information security actions. It is a complex, constantly evolving, and challenging topic that crosses over into several domains of information technology and security. This binary analysis book is designed to help you get started with the basics, before gradually advancing to challenging topics. Using a recipe-based approach, this book guides you through building a lab of virtual machines and installing tools to analyze binaries effectively. You'll begin by learning about the IA32 and ELF32 as well as IA64 and ELF64 specifications. The book will then guide you in developing a methodology and exploring a variety of tools for Linux binary analysis. As you advance, you'll learn how to analyze malicious 32-bit and 64-bit binaries and identify vulnerabilities. You'll even examine obfuscation and anti-analysis techniques, analyze polymorphed malicious binaries, and get a high-level overview of dynamic taint analysis and binary instrumentation concepts. By the end of the book, you'll have gained comprehensive insights into binary analysis concepts and have developed the foundational skills to confidently delve into the realm of binary analysis.

Performing discovery

Here's the scenario. Your File Integrity Monitoring (FIM) tool alerted you that a new file was written to disk on one of your servers. Other than that, you don't have visibility into anything else associated with this file except its name. Unfortunately, the FIM agent only recorded its name and not its location on disk right before the agent crashed. To start down the path of analyzing this file, we'll use some of our discovery phase tools to locate this file on disk so that we can copy the file to our 32-bit Ubuntu virtual machine lab.

In this recipe, we will use a few of the tools we learned about in the previous chapter to locate the file on disk to prepare it for transfer to our lab. Now, it should be obvious, but we'll use our imagination a bit and actually use these tools on the 32-bit Ubuntu virtual machine we created in Chapter...
