Anyone who has ever analysed malware through its network communications will knows that this often involves ad-hoc scripts in languages like Python or Perl to decode the traffic. After all, for somewhat understandable reasons, there is no standard C&C protocol for malware. If you regularly find yourself in this situation, you may want to have…

VB2016 preview: Debugging and Monitoring Malware Network Activities with Haka
Although some inventive (and often quite impractical) non-network-based ways to remotely control malware have been presented, most botnets use the normal Internet connection of the infected device to send information and receive commands. This inherent weakness in botnets’ infrastructures makes command and control traffic a useful avenue for analysing botnet behaviour. Haka is an open…
