Malware triage Hardening Workshop: Bootcamp Module
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 hands-on hardening course focuses on reducing attack surface through practical configuration changes and security guardrails. Building on core knowledge, RCCE students will learn to apply hardening baselines, validate configurations, and measure the security improvement achieved. Students walk away with actionable hardening checklists and the skills to maintain hardened configurations as environments evolve.
