Thank you for the response. Is the assembly subject in the book is for beginners or I shouldn't start from there?
I have no problem start from there just want to read more opinions and thoughts.

Anyway , to be specific to your question - you have to make sure 1. you unpacked the file(if its packed) , 2. dont run the file by mistake (use a lab environment thats why) . Then figure out what it will do/does (Again running it in a sandboxed environment environment will yield your result much easier) . This is the basics . But each of the steps involve complexity . You can check different malware analysis sites on the net for examples

The question is clear, the reader isn't clear. I downloaded Detect It Easy but it doesn't show me anything suspicious, I asked this question because Ollydbg 1.10 gave me an error on opened in OS 8.1.
x64/32_dbg I have no idiea about it. Just wanted to check IDA and about running VMware I will do it later. I thought I can find my answer here.


Sorry if spammed or uncleared, just cannot find instructions at google. Thanks all for response and please don't junk.
