What is a key difference between compiled and interpreted languages in the context of malware reverse engineering?

Interpreted languages are compiled to machine code before execution

Compiled languages produce machine code that can be disassembled, while interpreted languages often require analysis of the source code or bytecode

Compiled languages cannot be reverse engineered

Compiled languages are always easier to reverse engineer than interpreted languages

What is a key capability of memory analysis tools like Volatility?

They can recover deleted files from a hard disk

They can scan a network for vulnerabilities

They can list running processes and open network connections from a memory dump

They can encrypt data on a hard drive

A forensic analyst is analyzing a memory dump from an unknown Linux system. The analyst has loaded the dump into Volatility and is trying to identify the kernel version to select the correct profile. The analyst has already run the imageinfo plugin, but the results are inconclusive. Which additional step is most likely to help identify the correct profile?

Run the linux_pslist plugin to see if processes are listed.

Run the linux_banner plugin to extract the kernel version string.

Run the strings command on the dump to search for 'Linux version'.

Use a hex editor to manually search for the kernel version.
