Query: Malware Dynamic Analysis Evasion Techniques: A Survey   The Cyber world is plagued with ever-evolving malware that readily
infiltrates all defense mechanisms, operates viciously unbeknownst to the user
and surreptitiously exfiltrate sensitive data. Understanding the inner workings
of such malware provides a leverage to effectively combat them. This
understanding, is pursued through dynamic analysis which is conducted manually
or automatically. Malware authors accordingly, have devised and advanced
evasion techniques to thwart or evade these analyses. In this paper, we present
a comprehensive survey on malware dynamic analysis evasion techniques. In
addition, we propose a detailed classification of these techniques and further
demonstrate how their efficacy hold against different types of detection and
analysis approach. Our observations attest that evasive behavior is mostly
interested in detecting and evading sandboxes. The primary tactic of such
malware we argue is fingerprinting followed by new trends for reverse Turing
test tactic which aims at detecting human interaction. Furthermore, we will
posit that the current defensive strategies beginning with reactive methods to
endeavors for more transparent analysis systems are readily foiled by zero-day
fingerprinting techniques or other evasion tactics such as stalling.
Accordingly, we would recommend pursuit of more generic defensive strategies
with emphasis on path exploration techniques that have the potential to thwart
all the evasive tactics.
