Abstract(in English) During malware dynamic analysis, the analysis system often finds the loopback address in responses of DNS name resolution. They are the results of a countermeasure of service providers in order to mitigate malicious activities by disabling resolution of malicious host names. Meanwhile, recent attackers control malware by applying the loopback address to deactivate them as well as applying actual IP addresses to reactivate them. This research proposes a system to observe DNS responses with the loopback address and analyses the observed responses. Additionally, by focusing on a change of the loopback address in a DNS response, this research verifies the efficiency of dynamic analysis by comparing analysis results before and after the change of the DNS response. Based on the verification, this paper considers a method which derives emerging malicious sites and FQDNs.
