Institution:

Century College - Minnesota

Subject:

Description:

This course presents the key tools and techniques malware analysts use to examine malicious programs by exploring Windows malware in two phases. Behavioral analysis focuses on the program's interactions with its environment, such as the registry, the network, and the file system. Code analysis focuses on the specimen's code and makes use of disassembler and debugger tools such as IDA Pro and OllyDbg. This course covers how to patch malicious executables to change their functionality during the analysis without recompiling them and redirect network traffic in the lab to better interact with malware. Prerequisite(s): CFI 1065 and CFI 1205 with grades of C or higher or instructor consent.
