This class will introduce the CS graduate students to malware concepts, malware analysis, and black-box reverse engineering techniques. The target audience is focused on computer science graduate students or undergraduate seniors without prior cyber security or malware experience. It is intended to introduce the students to types of malware, common attack recipes, some tools, and a wide array of malware analysis techniques.
In general, if you’ve taken the following courses, you should have a good foundation for the class:
CS4029/6029 - Operating Systems
CS2029 - Data Structures
As virtualization is a key ingredient to any malware analysis, students are expected to have access to a laptop which can run multiple virtual machines at a time, with adequate CPU, RAM, and available disk storage. The minimum configuration expected to work well is a system with 4 cores (4 or 8 threads), 16GB of RAM and at least 150GB of free space on disk. Lesser configurations may work, but will likely increase the amount of wait time, minimized multitasking, and generally add to frustration.
