GReAT team – so you will get first-hand knowledge and
best practices from their exclusive research.

By working in the dedicated virtual lab, using an array of

tools like IDA Pro, Hex-Rays decompiler, Hiew, 010Editor
and many others, you will gain practical experience
analyzing real-life targeted malware and will become a
more efficient malware analyst and reverse engineer and
prove your skills are relevant to today’s threat landscape.

Training objectives
Analyze real-life malware used in the wild by APT groups. Understand steganography in greater detail.

Reverse-engineer malicious documents and exploits. Handle obfuscated or encrypted content in malicious
software.
Approach reverse engineering programs written in a
number of programming or scripting languages (C, .NET, Become more familiar with assembly.
Delphi, Powershell, JavaScript, C++) and compiled for
different architectures (x86, x64) with different compilers Understand the roundabout ways attackers launch their
or operating systems (Windows, Linux). programs.

Master advanced features of reverse-engineering tools Analyze shellcodes.

including IDA Pro’s scripting capabilities.

Prerequisites
