ProcMon, short for Process Monitor, is a Windows-based tool used in malware reverse engineering to monitor system activity and identify the behavior of malware samples. It is designed to provide a detailed view of system-level activity, including file system activity, registry changes, network connections, and process activity.

During malware analysis, ProcMon can be used to identify and monitor the activity of malicious processes and their associated threads, as well as any changes made to the file system or registry. This can provide valuable insight into the behavior and capabilities of the malware, including any attempts to establish persistence, communicate with a command-and-control server, or steal data.

ProcMon offers a range of customizable options to allow security researchers to fine-tune their malware analysis process. This includes the ability to filter and search for specific events, customize the output format, and integrate with other tools for further analysis.
