SEC501.5: Malware Analysis
Overview
Malicious software is responsible for many incidents in almost every type of organization. Types of Malware vary widely, from Ransomware and Rootkits to Crypto Currency Miners and Worms. We will define each of the most popular types of malware and walk through multiple examples. The four primary phases of malware analysis will be covered: Fully Automated Analysis, Static Properties Analysis, Interactive Behavior Analysis, and Manual Code Reversing. You will complete various in-depth labs requiring you to fully dissect a live Ransomware specimen from static analysis through code analysis. You will get hands-on experience with tricking the malware through behavioral analysis techniques, as well as decrypting files encrypted by Ransomware by extracting the keys through reverse engineering. All steps are well defined and tested to ensure that the process to achieve these goals is actionable and digestible.
