Malware Presence Confirmation using Wireshark and Scapy (PhantomStealer Analysis)

  🟦 Introduction Malware analysis is the process of identifying and understanding malicious software behavior in a network. Network traffic analysis plays a crucial role in detecting hidden threats and suspicious activities. In this project, a PCAP file containing PhantomStealer malware traffic is analyzed using Wireshark and Scapy tools. The objective is to identify malicious communication patterns, suspicious domains, and data exfiltration activities. This analysis helps in understanding how malware interacts with external servers and how such threats can be detected in real-world scenarios. 🟦 Objectives To analyze malware traffic using Wireshark To identify suspicious IP addresses and domains To detect abnormal communication patterns in network traffic To visualize traffic behavior using graph 🟦 PCAP Source Link: https://www.malware-traffic-analysis.net/2026/01/30/index.html 🟦 Architecture of the System The infected system generates network traffic which is cap...
