Hi malware fighters,

Analyzing a file. You’re in the middle of combating a malware infection.
You read three different sources on the malware at hand.
You think you know what you are confronted with. Now

I bookmarked it too, thanks a lot. :slight_smile:

Probably the most common “unusual” extensions are saved games and similar data specific to a particular application. They’re missing several I’ve got, but it sounds like they’re quite happy to get additions to their lists.
