SysAnalyzer is an application that was designed to give malcode analysts an automated tool to quickly collect, compare, and report on the actions a binary took while running on the system.

The reason a snapshot mechanism was used compared to a live logging implementation is to reduce the amount of data that analysts must wade through when conducting their analysis. By using a snapshot system, we can effectively present viewers with only the persistent changes found on the system since the application was first run. While this mechanism does help to eliminate allot of the possible noise caused by other applications, or inconsequential runtime nuances, it also opens up the possibility for missing key data. Because of this SysAnalyzer also gives the analyst the option to include several forms of live logging into the analysis procedure.
