Malware is an executable binary that is designed to be malicious. Malware can be used by attackers to carry out a range of malicious operations, such as spying on the victim using keyloggers or remote access tools (RATs) or deleting or encrypting data for "Ransom" payments. Malware is software that is designed to carry out malicious operations, and it comes in a variety of forms. Malware's impact, according to studies, is escalating. There are several tools available for malware analysis. The present study is the analysis of the malware known as “Malware Analysis”. Malware analysis is the study or process of extracting as much information as possible from a malware sample in order to determine its operation, origin, and potential impact. The information obtained aids in determining the functioning and scope of malware, as well as how the system got infected and how to guard against future attacks.
