Malware Analysis - Fundamentals

Malware is a malicious program intentionally designed to damage equipment. Malware intrusion can take various forms, ranging from a simple script to executable code. The general public is familiar with malware in several forms, including viruses, Trojans, ransomware, spyware, and adware. Malware intrusion into a company's information system can paralyze its operations, cause information leaks, and even lead to its destruction. It is therefore essential to understand how these malicious programs function in order to identify them, analyze them, and implement the necessary security countermeasures. This training provides a comprehensive overview of malware analysis and enables participants to apply their knowledge in real-world situations. The training covers the concept of malware, explores and understands infection vectors and phases, introduces APTs and C&C servers, and addresses static malware analysis. Throughout the training, practical demonstrations and a simulated real-world laboratory will reinforce the concepts learned. Prerequisites and necessary files will be provided at the beginning of the session.
