Explore the basic concepts of malware and get familiar with various types of malware analysis tools and techniquesAbout This VideoThis course gets you up and running with the key concepts of malware analysis, malware behavior, and evasionsSee a practical implementation of malware analysis using different tools and techniquesLearn the art of detecting, curing, and preventing future malware threatsIn DetailIn this video course, we start with the basic concepts of malware and you'll get familiar with the different types of malware and the malware analysis process. Before moving on with the techniques of malware analysis, you'll see how to set up your own lab to make a secure environment for malware analysis.Moving on, you'll get familiar with the basic techniques of static and dynamic malware analysis and gets your hands dirty with debuggers and disassemblers such as OllyDbg and IDA PRO. You'll learn how to analyze malware and understand its anatomy using these tools and techniques. Finally, you'll be exposed to the techniques that malware may use to evade detection and remain undetected.By the end of the course, you'll have a solid knowledge that will enable you to analyze the majority of malware programs.The code bundle for this video course is available at - https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Fundamentals-of-Malware-Analysis
