When I teach FOR610[1], I like to use a funny quotation with my students: “Make malware happy!†What does it mean? Yes, we like malware, and we need to treat it in a friendly way. To help the malware work or detonate successfully, it's recommended that we replicate the environment where it was discovered (or at least, as much as possible). This is not always easy because we often receive a sample outside of its context.
