In the field of Cybersecurity, Malware threats can turn out to be a difficult path to navigate. Malware represents real and harmful entities that can jeopardize your computer system. Malicious software, encompasses a range of programs designed to inflict damage on your PC. This term includes Viruses, Worms, Trojans, and other harmful softwares that hackers might use to deploy malicious payloads or extract sensitive information from victimized systems. These programs can severely compromise the integrity and security of Computer System. This work focuses on Static Malware Analysis, a primary methods for examining malware. Static Malware Analysis involves examining the malware without executing it, using a set of specialized tools. A comparative study of various tools were conducted, Dependency Walker had the highest detection rate (78.80%) and accuracy rate (86.60%), making it the most reliable instrument. The static analysis tools PiEd, Resource Hacker, PEview, and FileAlyzer had lower detection rates.

In the field of Cybersecurity, Malware threats can turn out to be a difficult path to navigate. Malware represents real and harmful entities that can jeopardize your computer system. Malicious software, encompasses a range of programs designed to inflict damage on your PC. This term includes Viruses, Worms, Trojans, and other harmful softwares that hackers might use to deploy malicious payloads or extract sensitive information from victimized systems. These programs can severely compromise the integrity and security of Computer System. This work focuses on Static Malware Analysis, a primary methods for examining malware. Static Malware Analysis involves examining the malware without executing it, using a set of specialized tools. A comparative study of various tools were conducted, Dependency Walker had the highest detection rate (78.80%) and accuracy rate (86.60%), making it the most reliable instrument. The static analysis tools PiEd, Resource Hacker, PEview, and FileAlyzer had lower detection rates.
