Title: Malware Investigations
Duration: 1 week
Course Aim
This course is intended for Law Enforcement Investigators who have a good knowledge of Computer Networking and the Microsoft Windows OS architecture. This course does not address reverse engineering and the disassembly of binary files. The objective is to obtain information from the malware analysis process that will help locate criminals and their infrastructure.
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of Computer Networking and the MS Windows architecture is required. This is enhanced and supplemented with a short e-learning component introducing the malware underground. All practical analysis will occur during the 5-day “in-class” training period. This enables students to learn practical analysis techniques under supervision and contain malware to a secure classroom network.
Students will need to be able to understand and communicate in English.
