Getting Started with UPX Packer and Unpacker

Scenario: You are tasked with performing static analysis on a flagged sample.

Demo 1: Let’s try to pack the sample file with UPX using -qvfk parameter.

What is the status after running the command?

Demo 2: Unpack the sample using the -dqf with -o to save it as a separate file.

Demo 3: Let’s run again UPX with -qvfk paramater to our newly unpacked sample.

#note: Use a separate isolated machine to perform this task.
