Sandbox technique is widely used in automated malware analysis. However, it can only see one path during its analysis. This is fatal when meeting the targeted malware. The challenge is how to unleash the hidden behaviors of targeted malware. Many works have been done to mitigate this problem. However, these solutions either use limited and fixed sandbox environments or introduce time and space consuming multi-path exploration. To address this problem, this paper proposes a new hybrid dynamic analysis scheme by applying function summary based symbolic execution of malware. Specifically, by providing Windows APIs’ summary stub and using unicorn CPU emulator, we can effectively extract malware’s hidden behavior which are not shown in sandbox environment. Without the usage of full system emulation, our approach achieve much higher speed than existing schemes. We have implemented a prototype system, and evaluated it with typical real-world malware samples. The experiment results show that our system can effectively and efficiently extract malware’s hidden behavior. |
