Reverse Engineering & Malware Analysis - Intermediate Level

Reverse Engineering & Malware Analysis - Intermediate Level

If you already have some basic reverse engineering and malware analysis knowledge and wish to go further, then this course is for you. I will take you from basic to intermediate level in reverse engineering and analyzing malware. You will learn using plenty of practical walk-throughs. The focus of this course will be on how to unpack malware. Most modern malware are packed in order to defeat analysis. Hence, this Intermediate Level Course provides the required knowledge and skills to unpack malware. All the needed tools will be introduced and explained. By the end of this course, you will have the intermediate level skill in malware analysis under your belt to further your studies in this field. Even if you do not intend to take up malware analysis as a career, still the knowledge and skills gained in reverse engineering and analysis would be beneficial to you to reverse software as well.

Everything is highly practical.  No boring theory or lectures. More like walk-throughs which you can replicate and follow along.  We will focus on API Hooking and Memory Analysis and Tracing to determine where and when to dump memory after a malware has unpacked its payload into memory. In this course, we will be using Oracle Virtual Machine installed with Flare-VM.  Take note that all software used in this course are free.

Topics include:

1. Types of Malware and Terminologies

2. Dynamic and Static Analysis

3. Assembly Language Refresher and Malicious APIs

4. API Hooking, Process Hijacking, Dumping Memory

5. Fixing Section Alignments, Un-mapping and Re-Basing Dumped Files

6. Enumerating Breakpoints and Memory Tracing

7. Hooking VirtualProtect, VirtualAlloc, GetProcAddress, CreateProcessInternalW and other common API's

8. Using Scylla Plugin to Dump Memory

9. Using Delphi Interactive Reconstructor

10. Dumping Memory from Memory Viewer, Process Hacker and Memory Maps

11. API Enumeration Count Trick To Know When to Dump

12. Self-Injection and Remote Thread Injection

13. and more...

    
    

This course is suitable for:

• Students who has already done a basic level malware analysis course

• Hackers looking for additional tools and techniques to reverse software

• Reverse Engineers who want to venture into malware analysis

  
  

The prerequisites:

• Some basics in malware analysis or software reverse engineering.

• Windows PC with Virtual Machine and Flare-VM Installed.

Note:

If you do not have the basics of malware analysis, it is recommended to take my earlier course first, which is entitled:
