Malware threats pose new challenges to analytic and reverse engineering tasks. It is needed for a systematic approach to that analysis, in an attempt to fully uncover their underlying attack vectors and techniques and find commonalities between them. In this paper, a method of malware analysis is described, together with a report of its application to the case of Flame and Red October. The method has also been used by different analysts to analyze other malware threats like ‘Stuxnet’, ‘Dark Comet’, ‘Poison Ivy’, ‘Locky’, ‘Careto’, and ‘Sofacy Carberp’. The method presented in this work is a systematic and methodological process of analysis, whose main objective is the acquisition of knowledge as well as to gain a full understanding of a particular malware. Using the proposed method to analyze two well-known malware as ‘Flame’ and ‘Red October’ will help to understand the added value of the method.

At this paper focus on Malicous Software also known as Malware APT1 (Advance Persistent Threat) codename WEBC2-DIV the most variants malware has criteria consists of Virus, Worm, Trojan, Adware, Spyware, Backdoor either Rootkit. Although, malware could avoidance scanning antivirus but reverse engineering could be know how dangerous malware infect computer client. Lately, malware attack as a form espionage (cyberwar) one of the most topic on security internet, because of has massive impact. Forensic malware becomes indicator successfull user to realized about malware infect. This research about reverse engineering. A few steps there are scanning, suspected packet in network and analysis of malware behavior and dissambler body malware.Keyword : forensic malware, Analysis, Advance Presistent Threat, Cyberwar, dissambler

The article deals with the issues of establishing cybersecurity in the EU and its member-states at the legislative level as viewed from the point of a systematic approach. The authors identified problematic aspects of improving cybersecurity quality and conditions. They analyzed the impact of the EU member states legislation on cy-bersecurity. The article as well considers the process of ICT development and pre-sents the ways of creating new challenges by means of new technologies. Key words: cybersecurity, cyber resilience, regulatory instruments, EU legislation, innovations.

Apps are of great interest and curiosity for the users of mobile phones, being already highly unloaded and used for the users of smartphones. The fashion mobile applications represent only a fraction of the mobile global applications (almost 0,2 %), nevertheless they are starting to deserve special attention from designers and researchers in this area. Brands want to know about the new trends in the market to be able to continue surprising and impressing their public. In this study, we seek to identify the most relevant aspects of the applications that help to improve the image of the Spanish prêt-à-porter fashion brands such as Zara, Pull and Bear, Stradivarius, Shana, Bimba y Lola,... The study considers the position in the ranking of downloads, the category, the opinions, valuations of the users and the criteria described by Jami Lawrence (2010): amusement, saving of time and / or comfort in the use. Findings: In this analysis, we seek to identify the most relevant aspects of the applications that help to improve the image of the brand, in this particular case of the Spanish prêt-à-porter fashion brands. - It is indispensable that the applications entertain the user, save time and / or comfort, we have observed that they are these characteristics those that are valued by the users. - Another factor that is valued in the applications, is that the application should make sense for the user and to have an added value that doesn't necessarily have to be related with the nature of the brand. - But it is important that applications to be developed have to be coherent with the identity of the brand. As in any other area, the appearance of new mass media, like the mobile, is the introduction of new challenges. – Finally, it is important for the brand to adapt constantly to the new technologies, but we must not forget that a precarious incorporation and badly developed app it can be more harmful than beneficial.

This paper presents research that integrates outcome-driven design methods with the more established function-based design methodologies. Outcome-driven design offers a more systematic approach to understanding the opportunity than the traditional and inconsistent means of gathering customer needs by exploring the reasons customers purchase products. These specific customer inputs are mapped to a process modeling technique to first broadly define how a customer will use a product. From this process model, a functional model can be extracted that abstractly captures what must happen within the product boundaries such that the product operates as intended to achieve the customers desired outcomes. An illustrative reverse engineering example is used to demonstrate the methodology. Preliminary case study validation results are discussed along with the conclusions and future work.

Ultrasound is a useful, cost-effective and minimally invasive tool that can be used in the workup of male infertility. Patient history, semen analysis and hormonal results often precede ultrasound examination as a part of the workup of male factor infertility.In our article, we advocate the added value of a systematic approach of the scrotal ultrasound. We propose a checklist for the complete analysis of testicular and paratesticular structures, useful in everyday practice for both clinicians and radiologists, highlighting what can be expected of and what should be found in the radiologist's report.

The role of internal auditing in banks in Bosnia and Herzegovina has been presented in this paper. Internal auditing as a relatively new profession is rapidly developing and its growing importance is an analysis of the manner and practice of internal auditing functioning in Bosnia and Herzegovina banks. The purpose of the research is elaboration of internal auditing based on risk estimation, new challenges which the internal auditing faces as well as analysis of practice and presentation of results of internal auditing functioning in Bosnia and Herzegovina banks. This paper gives a reply to the question how senior management and the employees in banks understand role, function and importance of internal auditing in them. Researches carried out for the purpose of this paper are searching for the answer to the question on what kind of internal auditing is meant in Bosnia and Herzegovina banks, what its role and importance are and what is specific in carrying out internal auditing in banks. We expect that our researches will make possible testing and proving the stated hypothesis: that internal auditing in banks can fulfill its role and help bank management to resist successfully the challenges they are facing only if they apply in their work modern, systematic approach to auditing focused on the process on risk managing to which the bank is exposed. In contemporary business conditions it has been evidenced that the approach of traditional internal auditing based on control is not adequate any more or sufficient and that it cannot give the needed support to those responsible for bank management, which is necessary for effective realization of goals.

To become competitive in the global world market, as a relatively new destination for rural tourism, we need to know how to use existing resources and to prove capable of coping with new challenges. The road to this great accomplishment goes through branding, because only with the help of branding it is possible to achieve recognition of Serbian rural product. That, first, implies a reformatory process of searching for our renewed that is redesigned identity, networking of various industries, as well as their integration. In such a context, rural tourism of Serbia should not be isolated within a particular segment of the whole, rather it should master those universal principles upon which the world is organized today, which is a unique and dynamic tourist product, and should be gradually turned into a brand thanks to its added value.
