Dissecting Windows Malware Series – RISC vs CISC Architectures – Part 4

In the previous article https://8ksec.io/dissecting-windows-malware-series-understanding-cryptography-and-data-encoding-part-3/, we saw an example of how understanding Data Encoding mechanisms can push us forward in:

• Identifying the type of encoding the malware uses

• What are the key functions we need to understand to perform the decoding stage accurately

• How should we these pieces of information as pivot to understand the bigger picture

Now before heading on to Network Traffic Analysis, we’re going to talk about CPU architectures.
