In malware accident investigation, the most important thing is detection of malicious code. Signature based anti-virus softwares have been used in most of the accident. Malware can easily avoid signature based detection by using packing or encryption method. Because of this, packed file detection is also important. Detection methods can be divided into signature based detection and entropy based detection.Signature based detection can not detect new packing. And entropy based detection has a problem with false positive. We provides detection method using entropy statistics of entry point section and 'write' properties of essential characteristic of packed file. And then, we show packing detection tool and evaluate its performance.
