Course Description

The Malware Analysis: Redux course equips participants to handle complex malware analysis tasks by reacquainting them with key analysis topics and exercises.

Prerequisites

Attendees should have a knowledge of malware analysis core concepts, a working malware analysis lab and a skill set in x86, x64 architecture and Windows APIs. A software development background is also recommended.

Course Goals

By the end of this course, students should be able to:

  • Triage malicious software
  • Understand the static and dynamic analysis process
  • Decipher file formats
  • Extract malware artifacts
  • Understand malware’s functionality
  • Learn about obfuscation techniques
  • Debug malware
  • Understand x86 and x64 Architecture

  • Learn about control structures
  • Disassemble malware
  • Unpack Malware
    • * Learn how to hunt for malware in memory

    This course is part of a Career Path:
    Become an Incident Handler
    In this Career Path, you will learn the incident response process, from building an incident response kit and developing an incident response team, to identifying, containing, and recovering from incidents. We then steer away from a traditional “defensive-only” approach to introduce you to the attacker’s world.
    Incident Handler Collection

    This collection focuses on the incident response process – from building an incident response kit and developing an incident response team, to identifying, containing, and recovering from incidents. We cover the traditional “defensive-only” approach, then introduce you to the attacker’s world.

    Instructor
    Brian Rogalski

    My name is Brian Rogalski and have worked in the information security field for 15+ years. My interest in computers started at the early age of 8 when I built my first computer from parts that people gave me. Once I finished my education I started my computer security career in the finance industry as an analyst, where my knowledge for computer security continued to grow. After working in the financial industry and building information security programs, I was trained as a malware analyst and moved to Washington D.C and worked for the US government. Now I have my own company Hexcapes and want to give back to the community by providing training and sharing my knowledge with other people so that we can help secure the digital world together.

    I have several interests in cyber security, many of which revolve around malware analysis, forensics and penetration testing. I also like fuzzing applications and looking for software bugs, and dabbing in programming suchas python, C++ and Swift. However, recently I have found a lot of interest in the area of machine learning, and quantum computing as I feel we will rely on these technologies more and more in the future.

    Success from Our Learners

    "Cybrary really helped me get up to speed and acquire a baseline level of technical knowledge. It offers a far more comprehensive approach than just learning from a book. It actually shows you how to apply cybersecurity processes in a hands-on way"

    Don Gates

    Principal Systems Engineer/SAIC

    "Cybrary’s SOC Analyst career path was the difference maker, and was instrumental in me landing my new job. I was able to show the employer that I had the right knowledge and the hands-on skills to execute the role."

    Cory

    Cybersecurity analyst/

    "I was able to earn my CISSP certification within 60 days of signing up for Cybrary Insider Pro and got hired as a Security Analyst conducting security assessments and penetration testing within 120 days. This certainly wouldn’t have been possible without the support of the Cybrary mentor community."

    "Becoming a Cybrary Insider Pro was a total game changer. Cybrary was instrumental in helping me break into cybersecurity, despite having no prior IT experience or security-related degree. Their career paths gave me clear direction, the instructors had real-world experience, and the virtual labs let me gain hands-on skills I could confidently put on my resume and speak to in interviews."

    Cassandra

    Information Security Analyst/Cisco Systems

    "I was able to earn both my Security+ and CySA+ in two months. I give all the credit to Cybrary. I’m also proud to announce I recently accepted a job as a Cyber Systems Engineer at BDO... I always try to debunk the idea that you can't get a job without experience or a degree."

    Casey

    Cyber Systems Engineer/BDO

    "Cybrary has helped me improve my hands-on skills and pass my toughest certification exams, enabling me to achieve 13 advanced certifications and successfully launch my own business. I love the practice tests for certification exams, especially, and appreciate the wide-ranging training options that let me find the best fit for my goals"
