Abstract Nowadays, computer worms become one of the most dangerous types of malwares threats. Computer worms have evolved during the time with sophisticated forms such as crypto type ransomware. Lime worm is one of these worm kinds. The researchers apply this worm on real environment in lab (ethically and for education purposes) and this paper presents the capabilities of this worm. This paper also presents static analysis by applying many tools, which are used to obtain the key information of lime worm. This paper discovers that applying static analysis on this type of worms is very effective and accurate. The obtained key information are used to develop a software for detecting lime worm and the ability to erase it.
