Topic outline

  • General

    This course is taught by Broderick Aquilino and other malware experts from WithSecure (formerly F-Secure Business), a Finnish cyber security company. You will learn about malware analysis and reverse-engineering tools and methods through hands-on exercises and lectures. 

    The course requires a substantial amount of hands-on work and independent problem solving. Throughout the course, students will receive assignments that focus on specific topics. The problems are partly open ended and might be challenging. (If you have no previous exposure to assembly language, please reserve some extra time for learning about it.)
