Malware triage Deep Dive

RCCE students will learn malware analysis triage methodologies including static analysis basics, dynamic analysis in sandboxed environments, behavioral analysis, indicator extraction, and malware classification. RCCE students will learn to perform initial malware triage to determine threat severity, extract file hashes, strings, imports, and other static indicators, execute malware in controlled sandbox environments to observe behavior, identify command and control communications, persistence mechanisms, and payload delivery techniques, classify malware by family and variant, and produce malware analysis reports that inform incident response and detection engineering efforts. This deep-dive course provides comprehensive technical coverage that goes beyond surface-level understanding. At an expert level, RCCE students will learn to master the nuances, edge cases, and advanced configurations that separate competent practitioners from true experts. Students will engage with complex real-world scenarios and gain the depth of knowledge required to troubleshoot difficult situations, mentor junior team members, and make architectural decisions with confidence.
