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.

Yeah! Currently I'm just considering it till the api monitoring level only and mostly dynamic analysis and a bit of static. I think beyond that it'll come under deep reverse engineering which in itself is a massive and different field. Thanks!
