Describe the key differences between static and dynamic malware analysis, highlighting when each approach is most effective.

The key differences between static and dynamic malware analysis lie in how the malware is examined. Static analysis involves examining the malware's code without actually executing it. This typically involves disassembling the code, examining strings, analyzing import/export functions, and identifying other static characteristics to understand its potential functionality. Dynamic analysis, on the other hand, involves executing the malware in a controlled environment (sandbox) and observing its behavior. This includes monitoring its network acti....
