Malware Analysis: Identifying and Defeating Code Obfuscation

Obfuscation techniques are used by malware authors to make it difficult to analyze their code. These techniques can be used to hide important indicators of compromise, and reduce the ability of malware functionality to be identified. This course Malware Analysis: Identifying, Destroying and Countering Code Obfuscation will teach you how to identify common obfuscation methods, as well as how to defeat them. You will first learn how obfuscation can affect your analysis, and the best strategies to defeat a variety of different obfuscation techniques. Next, we will show you how to detect and identify obfuscation in interpreted code. This includes malware authors like Powershell and Visual Basic For Applications. Next, you will be able expand your knowledge by learning code obfuscation using native code. You will also learn how malware authors use cryptography to obfuscate code and the best ways to detect it. This course will provide hands-on labs and detailed demonstrations for each module. You will be able to analyze real malware. This course will cover malware obfuscation using tools such as WinDbg and IDA Pro. This course will equip you with the skills and knowledge to tackle obfuscation.
