Static and dynamic malware analysis: Ghidra, x64dbg, ANY.RUN, YARA rules and report writing.
Why this matters right now
450,000 new malware samples appear every day
After the course you will be able to
Not abstract knowledge — concrete skills for analyzing real malware
Real attacks in the course
Analyzing real malware — WannaCry, Emotet and APT samples
WannaCry — kill-switch found in static analysis
Researcher MalwareTech spent 20 minutes in static analysis and found a hardcoded URL — WannaCry's kill-switch. Registering the domain for $10 stopped the global epidemic.
Emotet — 3 weeks of deobfuscation
Emotet used multi-layer obfuscation: packed → VBA macro → PowerShell → .NET → shellcode. The full analysis chain took the Malwarebytes team 3 weeks.
YARA rule caught a new strain in 6 hours
An analyst wrote a YARA rule based on an old sample analysis. 6 hours later the rule triggered on a new strain of the same family in a corporate network.
