Malicious Code Analysis

Introduction to Malicious Code Analysis starts with the setup of an environment for the study of malicious software in such a way as to mitigate the risk of propagation or negative side-effects. Next, common techniques used by malicious code to facilitate stealth, protection and propagation will be discussed followed by a methodology and tools for analysis.

Lab

Students will collaborate to perform an analysis of real-world malicious code, reporting on their results to the rest of the class. Analysis techniques and tools must counter the malware's stealth techniques and will require Reverse Engineering and the analysis of communication protocols and Operating System elements.
