Advanced Malware Analysis (CS-AMA)
Analyzing the malicious programs like bots, worms, viruses and trojans is considered vital in the forensics science. These essential techniques are used to examine malware using various monitoring tools, debuggers and disassemblers. Cipher Storm has designed this training course to help security professionals apply the analysis skills and take instant action in the event of security breach to detect and identify the specific malware type. During the course, candidates will learn behavioral, static code analysis and reverse-engineering techniques which will open them to a wide range of assessment criteria. Each subject will be taught with relevant examples to give better understanding of malware analysis process. Our qualified instructor will demonstrate the setup for the inexpensive and flexible laboratory. Candidates will also benefit from the advanced knowledge-base in examination of application’s behavioral patterns and assembly code. However, these set of analysis techniques are not limited to analyzing the code obfuscation mechanisms and browser-based malwares but also provide essential aspects of reverse engineering.
