Cisco 350-201 Exam - Topic 1 Question 73 Discussion

The SIEM tool informs a SOC team of a suspicious file. The team initializes the analysis with an automated sandbox tool, sets up a controlled laboratory to examine the malware specimen, and proceeds with behavioral analysis. What is the next step in the malware analysis process?
A) Perform static and dynamic code analysis of the specimen.
B) Unpack the specimen and perform memory forensics.
C) Contain the subnet in which the suspicious file was found.
D) Document findings and clean-up the laboratory.

C seems off, containment comes later, right?

I don't think we should be documenting yet. The analysis should come first, so I lean towards option A for the code analysis.

I feel like containing the subnet is important, but it seems more like a precautionary step rather than the next analysis step.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about unpacking the specimen for deeper analysis. Maybe option B?

I think the next step is to perform static and dynamic code analysis. We did a similar question in practice where analyzing the code was crucial.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The options seem pretty specific, so I'll need to make sure I understand what each of these ROI settings refers to before selecting an answer.

I'm leaning towards a service endpoint, as that would also allow me to restrict access to just the SqlSrv1 server. But I'll double-check the details to make sure I'm not missing anything.

I heard the best way to analyze malware is to just download it onto your personal computer. What could go wrong, right?

Wait, so we're not going to try and weaponize the malware and use it against our enemies? Darn, I was really looking forward to that.

Ooh, D sounds like the fun part - writing it all up and cleaning up the lab. But we can't skip the actual analysis, can we? A is the way to go.

I was leaning towards C, but then I realized that's more of a containment step. We can't forget the important analysis work first. I'd go with A.

B sounds tempting, but I think unpacking and memory forensics is a bit further down the road. First, we need to really understand the specimen's behavior, don't we?

Aha, I know this one! It's A - static and dynamic code analysis. Gotta get under the hood and see what that malware is really up to.
