Program description

This hands-on malware analysis course bridges advanced theory with real-world practice, focusing on in-depth analysis of file infectors and trojans.

Upon completion, students will be able to:

  • Analyze and interpret PE file headers and binary loading behavior
  • Perform manual unpacking of obfuscated and packed malware
  • Reverse-engineer file-infecting viruses and trojan payloads
  • Reconstruct infection processes and malware execution flows
  • Conduct dynamic analysis using sandboxing and debugging tools
  • Independently research undocumented system behaviors and apply findings to malware analysis
