Advanced Ransomware Reverse Engineering

🎉 Welcome to the Advanced Ransomware Reverse Engineering Course! 🛡️

Course Overview:

This course is a deep dive into the intricacies of reversing ransomware. It's designed for those who wish to understand and counteract one of the most pressing threats in cybersecurity today. While it builds upon concepts from our introductory course, "Reverse Engineering Malware," you can absolutely jump into this course without prior experience.

What You'll Learn:

• 🔍 Bypass Anti-Virtualisation Techniques: Master the art of identifying and circumventing measures ransomware uses to detect virtual environments.
• 🚀 Dynamic Analysis: Analyze how ransomware behaves on a live Windows system.
• 🗝️ Advanced Debugging Techniques: Gain proficiency in debugging ransomware, understanding its flow and logic.
• 📚 Static Analysis: Use static analysis to decipher encryption algorithms employed by ransomware.
• 🛡️ Obfuscation Tricks: Learn how to navigate past the tricks ransomware authors use to obscure their code.
• 🗝️ Decryptors Development: Discover vulnerabilities that can lead to the recovery of encrypted files, and write your own decryptors in Python and C.
• 🧪 Hands-On Learning: Work with real malware samples, scripts, and source code provided throughout the course.

Course Structure:

1. Precautions & Basics: Understand the necessary precautions when handling malware, even though this isn't a tutorial on setting up a virtual environment for analysis.
2. Deep Dive into Ransomware: Focus solely on ransomware, which is a subset of malware, and not an introduction to general malware or a high-level overview of ransomware.
3. Reverse Engineering Concepts: While this course does not serve as an introduction to reverse engineering, you'll build upon your existing knowledge to master the art.
4. Scripting for IDA Pro: Learn to write scripts to automate tasks in IDA Pro, a powerful disassembler and debugger.
5. Decryptors & Code Analysis: Write decryptors by identifying flaws in ransomware code or encryption logic.

Who Is This For?

• 👩‍💻 System Administrators: Protect your systems against sophisticated attacks.
• 🎓 Information Security Students: Gain practical skills to complement your studies.
• 🛡️ Security Professionals: Enhance your ability to analyze and defend against ransomware.
• 👨‍💻 Hobbyists & Researchers: Satisfy your curiosity and contribute to the cybersecurity community.

What's Excluded?

This course is not:

• 🔄 An introduction to malware or ransomware.
• 🧠 A high-level description of how ransomware operates.
• ⚙️ A tutorial on configuring a virtual environment for malware analysis.
• 📖 A course on preventing ransomware in the first place.
• 🚀 A primer on learning assembly or programming languages from scratch.

What You'll Get:

• 🎥 In-depth Lectures: Access to a comprehensive set of videos and resources.
• 🛡️ Confidence with Debuggers & Disassemblers: Become adept at using any debugger or disassembler you have at hand.
• 🔍 Identifying Vulnerabilities: Learn to spot flaws in ransomware code and logic.
• 📝 Scripting Skills: Write scripts for IDA Pro to automate your analysis process.
• ✅ Quizzes & Assessments: Test your knowledge with quizzes at the end of the course.
• 💻 Source Code: Receive Python and C source code for decryptors, as well as IDA scripts to study and modify.

Minimum Requirements:

• 🖥️ A computer with the capability to run a Windows virtual machine.
• 🧐 An interest in disassembling software and understanding how it functions.
• 🧬 Basic knowledge of assembly instructions, registers, and conditional branches.
• 📝 Familiarity with basic programming concepts in Python and C.
• 💪 Patience and determination to tackle complex subjects (you'll definitely "try harder" ®).
