Block Information
Block Information
During analysis, EnigmaSoft breaks file samples into logical blocks for classification and
comparison with other samples. Blocks can be used to generate malware detection rules and to group file
samples into families based on shared source code, functionality and other distinguishing attributes and
characteristics. This section lists a summary of this block data, as well as its classification by
EnigmaSoft. A visual representation of the block data is also displayed, where available.
This section lists other families that share similarities with this family, based on
EnigmaSoft’s analysis. Many malware families are created from the same malware toolkits and use the same
packing and encryption techniques but uniquely extend functionality. Similar families may also share
source code, attributes, icons, subcomponents, compromised and/or invalid digital signatures, and
network characteristics. Researchers leverage these similarities to rapidly and effectively triage file
samples and extend malware detection rules.
