Reverse Engineering and Malware Analysis x64/32: CRMA+ 2022

The CRMA+ 2022 Course will teach you all you need to know about malware analysis and reverse engineering.

By unfolding an origami first, a person might redo and recreate it. Grasping how automobiles operate requires an understanding of each major and small mechanical component, as well as their functions. Human anatomy’s complexity necessitates a thorough understanding of each and every bodily component. How do you do that? It may also assist in the correction of flaws.

Realizing how much software we operate without understanding exactly what it does is both astounding and alarming. We purchase software in shrink-wrapped containers off the shelf. We use setup utilities to install a variety of files, adjust essential registry files, remove or disable earlier versions and superseded utilities, and delete or deactivate older versions and superseded utilities. When we visit a website, we may be presented with hundreds of programs and code segments that are required to provide us with the desired appearance, feel, and behavior.

We either buy CDs with hundreds of games and utilities or download shareware versions of them. When we have only tested a portion of each program’s functionality, we share it with colleagues and friends. Then we download updates and patches, assuming that the vendors are confident in the accuracy and completeness of the changes. We foolishly trust that each program’s most recent modification makes it compatible with the rest of our system’s programs. We depend on a lot of software that we don’t understand and aren’t really familiar with. I’m not only talking about our desktop or laptop computers. The notion of “software everywhere,” or “ubiquitous computing,” is gradually placing software control and connectivity in devices all over our surroundings. The typical car today has more lines of software code in its engine controls than the Apollo astronauts needed to land on the Moon.

This would very certainly lead to a few dead troops fighting for the city beyond the gate. This time, there are no dead troops. The same is true for malware analysis; by understanding a malware’s behavior via reverse engineering, the analyst might offer different network precautions. Consider the Trojan Horse to be the virus, the analyst to be the soldier who first examined the horse, and the city to be the computer network.
