📝 Introduction
This post explores how we dissected a complex malware sample written in Rust, examining its structure, behavior, and embedded techniques to evade detection.
📌 Key Points
1. 🧠 Static Analysis
fn main() {
println!("Hello from Rust!");
}
## 🔬 Malware Structure
We broke it down into components like decryption logic, evasion mechanisms, and payloads.
💡 Tip: Use `cargo build --release` to optimize Rust binaries.
⚠️ Warning: This malware deletes shadow copies.
📘 Note: This technique is also used in Cobalt Strike payloads.
