What is MALM Malware Monitor?

MALM Malware Monitor

MALM Malware Monitor is a small and handy tool for malware researchers and security experts. It helps you figure out where malware agents go after they sneak into systems. You can do all of this right from the command-line console, which is pretty cool!

How MALM Works

MALM works by keeping track of new processes, executable heaps, and modules that get loaded by existing processes from the moment you start it up. When you're ready to stop monitoring, it puts together a report that shows all the changes made to those processes, heaps, and modules. This way, you get a clear picture of what happened.

What Information Does It Record?

The recorded changes include things like the ID, filename, and extension of each process. Plus, it tells you what type of action occurred—like if a new process started or if one was terminated or became inaccessible due to security settings.

Stopping the Monitoring

You can easily stop monitoring by pressing Ctrl+C. But here’s something to keep in mind: MALM doesn’t create a text document with its report. Instead, it displays everything right in the console and organizes the details by process.

Reporting Options

By default, MALM creates reports by taking continuous snapshots and printing data as it goes along. If you prefer to just get the final report without all those details in between, you can use quick mode with the -q flag. And if you're stepping away from your computer but still want monitoring done? Just set a time limit with -t [seconds], and MALM will take care of stopping itself.

Smooth Performance

This software ran smoothly during our tests! It uses low system resources while quickly scanning for issues and generating reports without any hassle.

A Simple Solution for Researchers

Thanks to its easy-to-use commands, MALM Malware Monitor provides an effective solution for malware researchers looking to analyze how malware behaves—especially where agents hang out after they execute.
