comment Which programs do you use for analyzing unknown Binaries / malware?
Welcome to Security.SE. Please note that shopping list type questions generally do not work very well here and are off topic according to the help. You might consider reformulating this to focus on the actual malware analysis problem you have, e.g. where are you getting stuck/what do your current tools not currently let you do? There's an edit link under each question which allows you to update it should you decide to.

comment Can the U.S. goverment crack encryption?
RSA wasn't invented by the NSA. It was invented by Rivest, Shamir and Adleman, three professors at MIT and simultaneously by Clifford Cocks of GCHQ (that's the British NSA).

comment Designing a Sandbox for Windows
@Maarten that's correct, patchguard is only a 64-bit thing. It has also been circumvented in almost all of its implementations, but you'd need someone more skilled than I am to do it :) But yes, you can hook ISRs on 32-bit. I'd be tempted to hook on several levels, because a COM call for example might make more sense filter-wise than a series of syscalls. Just work on the basis the userland hooks might not be reliable. The other issue with any hook is speed, of course - you have to be careful not to slow things down too much with your checking stage.
