Malware Analysis

Triage, static + dynamic analysis, anti-debug bypass, YARA hunting

A practical, fast-paced track on triaging and reverse-engineering malicious software. The goal is not to make you a virus author — it's to make you a defender who can read a binary, understand what it does, and produce IOCs your SOC can detect with. Triage in 30 minutes; static + dynamic analysis safely; defeat packers, anti-debug, anti-VM; author YARA rules; write IR-ready ATT&CK-mapped reports. Recommended after AYSEC-202 (Reverse Engineering).
