Malware Reverse Engineering
Unmask malware. Understand its behavior. Strengthen your defense.Â
ThreatGrid’s Malware Reverse Engineering (MRE) service provides deep technical analysis of malicious files, payloads, scripts, implants, and exploit chains. Our analysts dissect malware at the code level to reveal how it works, what it targets, and how to defend against it.
Break down malware to expose its capabilities and attacker intentWhat We Do
Using static, dynamic, and behavioral analysis, ThreatGrid reverse engineers malware samples to identify functionality, persistence, encryption, command-and-control patterns, anti-analysis techniques, and embedded indicators.
We produce clear, actionable intelligence for SOC, IR, and engineering teams.
Service Highlights

Detect runtime activity, file modifications, process creation, and network communications.
Identify real-world impact and operational patternsBehavioral Analysis & Logging
Monitor system calls, registry edits, persistence creation, and environment checks.
Reveal command-and-control patterns and communication logicC2 & Network Protocol Analysis
Includes deobfuscation, packet analysis, encryption schema review, and protocol mapping.

Understanding malware at its core is key to stopping future attacksWhy It MattersÂ
Reverse engineering reveals:
What malware actually does
How to detect and stop it
Whether data was stolen
How attackers gained access
What vulnerabilities or misconfigurations were exploited
Whether variants or related samples exist
This level of insight helps teams patch weaknesses, write better detections, and prepare for future attacks from the same threat actors.
Essential for SOCs, IR teams, malware analysts, and MSP/MSSPsWho BenefitsÂ
Ideal for organizations that:
Encounter new or unknown malware
Need root-cause clarity for incidents
Develop detection rules or security tooling
Maintain SOC, threat hunting, or DFIR programs
Handle high-risk or regulated data environments
