Threat Research

We study adversaries — dissecting malware, researching vulnerabilities, and providing forensic expertise. Our research directly informs our offensive and defensive services.

Malware Analysis

We dissect malware samples to understand their behavior, identify indicators of compromise, and provide actionable intelligence. Our analysts reverse engineer everything from commodity malware to sophisticated APT tools.

  • Static Analysis: Examination of malware without execution to identify strings, imports, and embedded resources.
  • Dynamic Analysis: Controlled execution in sandboxed environments to observe runtime behavior and network activity.
  • Reverse Engineering: Deep-dive disassembly and decompilation to understand malware functionality and capabilities.
  • IOC Extraction: Identification of indicators of compromise including domains, IPs, file hashes, and registry keys.
  • Threat Attribution: Analysis of TTPs to attribute malware to known threat actors and campaigns.
  • Detection Signatures: YARA rules, Sigma rules, and custom detection signatures derived from analysis findings.

When you've been compromised, understanding what you're dealing with is critical. We provide complete functionality breakdowns, network indicators for blocking and detection, persistence mechanism analysis, C2 communication protocol documentation, and YARA rules for ongoing detection.

Security Research

We conduct original security research — finding zero-days, analyzing emerging threats, and developing tooling. Our research has resulted in published CVEs and advisories.

  • Vulnerability Research: Discover zero-day vulnerabilities in your products or third-party software your organization depends on.
  • Exploit Development: Develop proof-of-concept exploits to validate vulnerability impact and test defensive controls.
  • Tool Development: Build custom security tools, scripts, and automation for your specific testing and defensive needs.
  • Protocol Analysis: Analyze proprietary and standard protocols for design flaws, implementation bugs, and cryptographic weaknesses.
  • Advisory & Disclosure: Responsible disclosure of discovered vulnerabilities with coordinated vendor notification and CVE registration.
