Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Malicious software (malware) specimens that infect IoT (Internet of Things) devices rapidly increase. If those specimens are packed (compressed and/or encrypted), an analyst should require an analysis method suitable for packed IoT malware. To realize how important analysts are seriously in alarm for packed malware, we conducted a trend review of runtime packers for IoT malware. In this review, we examined 16,402 IoT malware specimens with an entropy analysis to reveal a ratio of packed malware. In addition, we checked how many packers were used for the malware. This trend review shows that 238 specimens out of 16,402 were packed and that five packers were used including UPX. We concludes that analysts currently do not have to be extremely nervous for packed IoT malware.
