English | Size: 17.01 GB
Genre: eLearning

FOR710: Reverse-Engineering Malware – Advanced Code Analysis prepares malware specialists to dissect sophisticated Windows executables, such as those that dominate the headlines and preoccupy incident response teams across the globe. This course not only includes the necessary background and instructor-led walk throughs, but also provides students with numerous opportunities to tackle real-world reverse engineering scenarios during class.

What You Will Learn
As defenders hone their analysis skills and automated malware detection capabilities improve, malware authors have worked harder to achieve execution within the enterprise. The result is malware that is more modular with multiple layers of obfuscated code that executes in-memory to reduce the likelihood of detection and hinder analysis. Malware analysts must be prepared to tackle these advanced capabilities and use automation whenever possible to handle the volume, variety and complexity of the steady stream of malware targeting the enterprise.

FOR710: Advanced Code Analysis continues where FOR610: Reverse-Engineering Malware: Malware Analysis Tools and Techniques course leaves off, helping students who have already attained intermediate-level malware analysis capabilities take their reversing skills to the next level. Authored by SANS Certified Instructor Anuj Soni, this course prepares malware specialists to dissect sophisticated Windows executables, such as those that dominate the headlines and preoccupy incident response teams across the globe.

Developing deep reverse-engineering skills requires consistent practice. This course not only includes the necessary background and instructor-led walk throughs, but also provides students with numerous opportunities to tackle real-world reverse engineering scenarios during class.

“As malware gets more complicated, malware analysis has as well. In recent years, malware authors have accelerated their production of dangerous, undetected code using creative evasion techniques, robust algorithms, and iterative development to improve upon weaknesses. Proficient reverse engineers must perform in-depth code analysis and employ automation to peel back the layers of code, characterize high-risk functionality and extract obfuscated indicators.” – Anuj Soni
