Summary

By the end of this chapter, you should be able to build an on-premises sandbox and have learned how to perform static analysis on files with tools such as YARA, pestudio, and Exeinfo, as well as dynamic malware analysis using tools such as FakeNet, ProcMon, Regshot, and Autoruns.

Now, the journey has reached its end. Throughout this journey, we have gained valuable insights into the techniques employed by modern threat actors, as well as acquired the skills to effectively detect and investigate them by leveraging logs from various sources such as email security, Windows, proxies, firewalls, WAFs, and other security controls. I highly recommend taking this book as a comprehensive guideline to aid you in investigating cyber threats. I hope you found this book useful for investigating cyber threats and fighting cyber criminals. Thank you for your time and see you on another journey.
