Session 7 – Practical ReversingPart II – Unpacking Malware
In reverse engineering understanding cryptographic functions and packers are the two most challenging and sophisticated tasks. In real life virtually all malwares use some form of packing so understanding packing/unpacking is one of the most important task in malware analysis. Check the reference section for additional material. We highly recommend Lena151 (see reference) material for […]

Session 6 – Practical Reversing Part I – Basic Reversing
This session covers the concept of basic Reverse engineering. Malwares most of time uses packers and cryptors to thwart the analysis efforts, so it becomes important to understand the concept of unpacking. This presentation covers the concept of packer and a demo showing unpacking of packer called UPX. Video Demo

Session 4 – Assembly Programming Basics
While Analyzing the malwares most of the time we don’t have its source code, so in order to understand their functionality one has to debug/disassemble the binary (executable, dll etc.), Understanding the assembly language will help you build a high level logic while your are debugging/disassembling the malware sample.
