Course Overview
Course Overview
The Malware Forensic Investigation (Reverse Engineering) Certificate Course is an intensive one-month specialized training program designed to provide participants with advanced knowledge and practical skills in malware analysis, reverse engineering, and digital forensic investigations. The course focuses on understanding how malicious software operates, how cybercriminals exploit systems, and how investigators can identify, analyze, and document malware for legal, intelligence, and incident response purposes.
Participants will learn both static and dynamic malware analysis techniques, disassembly and debugging, behavioral analysis, persistence mechanisms, memory analysis, network communications, and Indicators of Compromise (IOCs). Through hands-on laboratory exercises using industry-standard tools such as IDA Pro, Ghidra, x64dbg, Wireshark, Procmon, Cuckoo Sandbox, PEStudio, Volatility, YARA, and Any.Run, learners will investigate real-world malware samples in controlled environments while following internationally accepted forensic methodologies and legal standards.
This course prepares professionals to investigate ransomware, banking trojans, spyware, rootkits, Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs), and other sophisticated cyber threats while producing forensically sound reports suitable for legal proceedings.
