Brian Tobin
Final Year Project

This website contains the documentation and links to the application files of my final year project, a file analysis tool designed for students. This project was completed as part of my Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Cybercrime and IT Security degree.

APPLICATION
Static File Analysis Tool

This tool is designed primarily for students as an introduction to file analysis. It is intended to be used with 32-bit PE files (windows executables). A good place to start would be downloading the Practical Malware Analysis Labs and attempt to analyse these files. The binaries and source code can be downloaded from GitHub. This application can perform the following core functions:

  • 1 Open files up to 2GB.
  • 2 Generate a hash of and backup the selected file.
  • 3 Check if a file is packed using UPX and determine the files entropy.
  • 4 Find strings and allow the user to save selected strings.
  • 5 Find imported DLL names and functions.
  • 6 Allow the user to edit bytes in the hex editor window.
  • 7 Disassemble basic 32 bit PE files.
  • 8 Display a checklist for the user to follow.
