Zusammenfassung:The disclosed computer-implemented method for analyzing suspected malware may include (1) identifying a file suspected of including malware, (2) performing a static analysis of the file to identify at least one indication of an attack vector that the file uses to attack computing systems, (3) obtaining, from at least one computing system, telemetry data that identifies at least one indication of an attack vector that the file uses to attack computing systems, (4) constructing, using the indications obtained from the static analysis and the telemetry data, an execution profile that describes an execution environment that provides the attack vectors indicated by the static analysis and the telemetry data, and (5) configuring the execution environment described in the execution profile to test the file for maliciousness. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
