At the OEP, use Scylla (built into modern x64dbg) to dump the process memory:

ASPack always jumps to the OEP via an indirect jump. The classic signature to look for is: aspack unpacker

Many malware samples, like NullMixer, use ASPack to evade detection. Unpacking is the first step in deep-dive malware analysis. Performance & Debugging:

Open the packed executable in x64dbg. The debugger will stop at the ASPack stub’s entry point. You’ll typically see PUSHAD (push all registers) and CALL instructions. For analysts who need speed or are not

Click "Fix Dump" and select the file you just saved to rebuild the routing tables.

(These can help find tutorials, tool downloads, and specific ASPack-unpacking walkthroughs.) Unpacking is the first step in deep-dive malware analysis

: Unpacking the file allows security analysts to extract the raw, uncompressed binary code. This code can then be used to create accurate antivirus signatures (such as YARA rules) to catch future variants of the malware.

The dumped file will not run immediately.Its Import Address Table points to incorrect memory slots.Use Scylla to target the paused process.Click "IAT Autosearch" to locate the import table.Click "Get Imports" to resolve the necessary API references.Click "Fix Dump" and select your dumped file.The final fixed file is now ready for analysis.
