Building security - old days vs new days

In the olden days, analysis had to be done with shell commands, built-in system utilities, and a text editor. Of course, back then, the attack surface was small, and there weren’t many places for malware to hide. As malware really began to hit its stride, VMWare’s virtual machine technology started to gain in popularity among security analysts. Researchers could make a snapshot or backup of a virtual machine, and proceed to hack it, infect it, and trash it to their heart’s content. Afterwards, they could restore the good copy in just a few short minutes. This process could be repeated over and over, and streamlined analysis in a big way.
