Analyse malicious files to prevent malicious actions and identify attacks.

An unknown binary is running on a workstation. You obtain the MD5 hash and search online, but you can't find any information about it. Virustotal only shows 1 hit that it's malware. Time to dig in and find out for yourself. Malware analysis is the process of analyzing binaries to determine its functionality. This module will explore the tools and techniques used to analyse potential malware.

History of Malware

What are modules?

A learning pathway is made up of modules, and a module is made of bite-sized rooms (think of a room like a mini security lab).
