Hacking the Malware– A Reverse Engineer’s Analysis [ PDF ]

This paper attempts to document an approach on how the hackers make use of the vulnerabilities to install malicious software on the vulnerable machine. A comprehensive reverse code engineered analysis of the malicious software (Win32.Qucan.a) and the various protection schemes against the worm by various security products are also discussed.

I hope this document will help the Malware researchers, Intrusion Analysts and other Security professionals to conduct a more viable and comprehensive research.
