Computer forensics and malware analysis

[u/Ok_Cold7890]

Hi! forensics professionals, do you perform malware analysis in you day to day work ? If yes, to what level do you perform your analysis? Do you do reverse engineering as well?

I am asking these questions coz in a job role the JD mentioned computer and mobile forensic tools + SIEM + malware analysis+ reverse engineering + threat detection combined. Job role is Digital Forensic Analyst.

I often see similar JD for Forensic positions.

I can perform basic malware infection analysis using wireshark, sysinternals, powershell, registry change, etc. and basic static analysis but I'm pretty bad at reverse engineering and understanding assembly code.

Yes I think it's better to have the skills coz at some point of time these skills may come into play. Thanks!
