Dynamic Analysis
Noun · Security & Infosec
Definitions
The examination of software by running it and observing its behavior, such as system calls, network activity, memory use, and file changes. Dynamic analysis is especially useful for malware and suspicious binaries whose real behavior is not obvious from code alone.
In plain English: Studying software by executing it and watching what it does.
Example: "Static review was inconclusive, so the analysts switched to dynamic analysis in a sandbox."
