Course overview
A malware analysis course from safe sample handling to behavioural and code-level analysis. The course builds an isolated analysis lab, then works through static triage, dynamic execution monitoring, unpacking, assembly-level review and indicator extraction, using real but defanged samples.
Learners produce analysis reports with detection signatures for each sample studied.
Who it is for
- SOC and incident response analysts
- Threat intelligence teams
- Reverse engineering enthusiasts
- Security researchers
Prerequisites
Operating system internals, networking, and comfort with Windows administration. Assembly exposure is helpful.
How it runs
Learn → Practise → Build → Experience → Demonstrate, ending in a capstone. Delivered by practitioners from the engineering bench, in Madurai, Coimbatore and online.
