This class is designed for students, beginners, and professionals who want to build a strong foundation in malware analysis and reverse engineering. It’s ideal for anyone interested in understanding how malicious software works, how to dissect it safely, and how to develop defensive or analytical skills used by cybersecurity experts and incident responders. Even if you’re new to this domain, the class starts from the basics and gradually moves toward practical analysis techniques.
Students will learn how malware operates, how to identify different types of malware, and how to analyze their behavior using both static and dynamic methods. The course also covers topics like sandboxing, deobfuscation, persistence mechanisms, and common tools used by malware analysts. By the end, learners will understand how to detect, study, and mitigate real-world threats.
Students only need a laptop or PC with internet access. All required tools, labs, and resources will be provided during the sessions.
