Malware Reverse Engineering from CDW

Malware Reverse Engineering

Malware Reverse Engineering teaches students how to perform more advanced analysis of real-world malware samples. The primary techniques taught are disassembly and debugging. The course also covers topics such as data decoding and binary obfuscation in order to bypass protections and perform effective analysis on hardened samples, how to deal with destructive malware, and how to defeat anti-debugging and other anti-analysis techniques.
