Course

New Suricata for Incident Response and Threat Hunting training, pre-reg now

Targeted Malware Reverse Engineering

Course overview

Skilled reverse engineers aren’t born - they’re made by experience. If you are a cybersecurity specialist with a good understanding of malware analysis methodologies & tools and are looking for more confidence in applying your skills, you can bridge the gap by working hands-on with real-life cases.

With this challenge in mind, our intermediate-level course is built around analysis of 10 targeted malware cases used in the wild by powerful APT actors recently. Cases including MontysThree, LuckyMouse & Lazarus have been researched personally by our trainers as part of their work in the Kaspersky GReAT team – so you will get first-hand knowledge and best practices from their exclusive research.

By working in the dedicated virtual lab, using an array of tools like IDA Pro, Hex-Rays decompiler, Hiew, 010Editor and many others, you will gain practical experience analyzing real-life targeted malware and will become a more efficient malware analyst and reverse engineer and prove your skills are relevant to today’s threat landscape.

100% practical

Participants ‘learn by doing’, using the hands-on virtual lab to work on fresh targeted malware samples used in the wild by powerful APT actors.

Master IDA Pro and other advanced tools

Get to know the advanced features of tools like IDA Pro and develop up to date knowledge through recent APT cases.

Learn with the best

Kaspersky experts have poured more than 10 years of reverse engineering experience and their exclusive research into the course.
