The purpose of MalwareInfo.Org is to help users analyze and determine if an executable \ process \ binary running in their system is a harmful Malware. Here we will learn to do the analysis by analyzing it in a controlled environment without the use of antivirus software, debuggers, code disassembly or any other sophisticated tools or applications. However, we would take the help of certain freely available tools and utilities to fulfill our requirements.

A relatively large percentage of the software that a normal internet user encounters in his/her online activities are or can be malicious in some form or other. Most of these Malwares are detected by Antivirus software, Spyware removal applications and other similar tools. However, this protection is not always enough and there are times when a small, benign looking binary sneak through all these levels of protection and compromises the system and the users data.

Traditionally, Malware analysis has been considered to be very complicated, and in fact some of the techniques or methodologies involved are very complicated and way beyond a normal user's access or understanding. However, in context of todays scenario, we can see that there is a clear need for people to learn how to analyze Malware themselves. But the most important factor is that the analysis techniques should be simplified enough so that even the average computer user can understand it. Unfortunately, information dealing with Malware analysis techniques are either too complicated for the average users to understand or they are in a scattered form, beyond the reach of normal users. Here @ MalwareInfo.Org we would try to fill in this disparity and also would like to make it easy and simplified enough for the average users to understand and do a hands on themselves.
