What is the major treat on the internet today? We can all agree that malicious software is one among the long list. Malware is getting better and better every day. We witnessed and we observed the very beginning of the malware era. In the beginning, we knew basic malware, and nowadays, we go up to the polymorphic and metamorphic implementations of those.
Malware can sometimes destroy businesses, factories and it can also affect people. This thesis provides an overview of how powerful and stealthy malware can be, how it can be made, obfuscated and revealed.
Finally, we look into the practical approach of how to automatically identify a Visual Studio exploit(s). The thesis also introduces ways to avoid getting infected with malicious content.
