Malware Analysis: Identifying & Defeating Packaging will teach you how to identify and defeat common packing techniques. You will first learn about packers and the methods that malware authors use to exploit them. Then, you'll learn how to identify common packers and unpack them. You will also learn how to identify custom packers and the best ways to defeat them. This course will have hands-on labs and detailed demonstrations for each module.
