Course Desc: A lab-intensive study of reverse engineering and malware analysis techniques. The objective is to recognize, dissect, and remediate infections caused by malicious code and malware using modern tools and methodologies. Topics include malware analysis, reverse engineering, common malware patterns, assembly language, debuggers and obfuscation, and packing techniques.

Learning Objectives

After completing this course you should be able to:
Apply reverse-engineering methods and tools to determine the anatomy, functionality and threat associated with malicious software
Use static analysis techniques to interpret common assembly instructions in malware
Use dynamic analysis techniques to examine malware samples
Analyze common execution flow control mechanisms and malware functions in assembly language to understand structural elements
Bypass common debugger detection and data protection measures used in malware detection
