This is an excellent post, but are you going to give credit to the person who made this list? http://realsecurity.web.officelive.com/filescanners.aspx

Hmm...this does look suspicious. BTW, did you register just to tell us that? After all, you only posted twice: Once in the intro forum, and the other here.

 

[bogdan]

I'm sure it was a mistake and it will get fixed.

Under analysis file behavior

Eureka is a binary static analysis preparation framework. It implements a novel binary unpacking strategy based on statistical bigram analysis and coarse-grained execution tracing. Eureka incorporates advanced API deobfuscation capabilities to facilitate the structural analysis of the underlying malware logic. For each uploaded binary, the Eureka service will attempt to unpack and (for Eureka I, disassemble; for Eureka II (not yet available), decompile) the binary, and will produce an annotated callgraph, subroutine/data index page, strings summary, and a list of embedded DNS entries.
