Overview

I perform advanced Malware Analysis as a Cybersecurity Specialist, Security Engineer, and Cybersecurity Expert, analyzing malicious files, URLs, and indicators of compromise to support Security Operations Center (SOC) and Information Security teams. My work focuses on detecting threats, understanding attacker behavior, and strengthening overall Cybersecurity defenses.

Process & Approach

My Malware Analysis process combines both Static Analysis and Dynamic Analysis to uncover hidden payloads, malicious behavior, and threat patterns. I analyze samples using tools such as VirusTotal, Hybrid Analysis, EIOC, urlscan.io, url2png, and hash extraction techniques (MD5, SHA256) to identify malware signatures, IOCs, and attack infrastructure.
As a Security Manager mindset and Security Engineer, I correlate threat intelligence, inspect file behavior in sandbox environments, examine network indicators, and validate malicious activity to support Security Operations Center workflows and enterprise Information Security operations.

Outcome

Analyzed and classified 10+ malware samples and malicious URLs
Identified key IOCs, hash values, and threat patterns for faster detection
Improved Cybersecurity monitoring, incident response, and SOC threat visibility
Strengthened Information Security posture and proactive threat defense
