Training Details
Using system monitoring tools and analytic software, you will analyze real-world malware samples in a training environment, giving you hands-on experience building secure lab environments, classifying malware, analyzing behavioral characteristics and their effects to systems, and documenting your findings. You will leave the course with the skills and abilities required to be an effective malware analyst.
After successfully completing this course, students will be able to:
- Set up a secure lab environment in which to analyze malicious software
- Build and maintain a tool set of freely available, trusted tools
- Classify different types of malware and describe their capabilities
- Analyze malware samples of varying types to ascertain their specific behavioral characteristics and their impact on a system
- Determine if a given sample is persistent and, if so, identify and remediate the persistence mechanism(s)
- Identify when a sample is aware of its virtual environment and will require more advanced static or dynamic analysis
Get Practical Experience That Well Over 95% Of Behavioral Malware Analysis Job Openings Require.
Our training doesn’t consist of a set of video lectures followed by unguided work assignments, as is the case with all other Assembly for Reverse Engineers (Classroom) training programs.
Instead, our proprietary Artificial Intelligence-based training platform delivers you bite-sized knowledge that is immediately followed by hands-on exercises, during which the platform watches your every step and helps you with contextual help, hints, and templates, as needed; and you have a personal tutor and coach who help you every step of the way.
