Malware Analysis: Static, Dynamic, and Memory Techniques | Udemy

Unlock the world of malware analysis and become proficient in uncovering how malicious programs work. This course takes you from the foundations of reverse engineering to advanced techniques in static analysis, dynamic analysis, and memory forensics.

You will learn to:

• Examine malware binaries without execution using static techniques.
• Perform sandboxed execution to observe runtime behavior safely.
• Use memory forensics to uncover hidden processes, injected code, and persistence mechanisms.
• Analyze real-world malware samples step by step in a controlled lab environment.
• Build a solid foundation for careers in cybersecurity, reverse engineering, and malware research .

  By the end of this course, you’ll have hands-on experience dissecting malware like a professional analyst, using industry-standard tools and methodologies to understand, detect, and defend against cyber threats.

  Ideal for aspiring malware analysts, cybersecurity students, and professionals looking to strengthen their practical skills in malware research and digital forensics.
