Certified Malware Analyst

As of 2024, the number of sophisticated cyberattacks by advanced persistent threats (APTs) against both people and business networks is still growing.

Malware experts and threat researchers have to break down whole samples of malware in order to protect enterprise networks from high-level threats.

There aren't enough people with the right skills to stop, study, and fix the advanced malware attacks that come from APT hackers around the world.

After putting in hundreds of hours of work, the experts at Ethical Hackers Academy have created the best Advanced malware analysis training course with certification. This course focuses on Reverse Engineering, exploits development, and researching advanced level threats with hands-on malware analysis tools and techniques.

Malware analysis, exploit development, and reverse engineering are all in-depth ways to look at current threat attacks and find the weak spots that hackers and skilled security professionals often take advantage of.

It is always hard to figure out how to analyze complex bugs. Ethical Hackers Academy put a lot of time into making this course so that people can easily understand how complex malware like Trojans, viruses, rootkits, ransomware, spyware, adware, and most recently, malware families from APT hackers groups get into systems and how they do it.

The Certified Malware analyst course with the malware analysis phase contains the following training modules.

• Static Malware Analysis
• Dynamic Malware Analysis
• Memory Forensics
• Malware Detection
• Web Domain Analysis
• Network interactions Analysis
• Debugging & Debugger
• Analyze malicious URL’s
• Sandboxes Technique

In Threat Research Phases (1, 2), You will learn the various advanced cyber threats and the APT hackers’ activities, infection vectors, Hunting, Extracting the Threat Feature, analyzing the behavior, Tracking the threat, taking down the attacker’s infrastructure.

Exploit Development Phase techs the skills that required to analyze the vulnerabilities and develop the tools, analyze the bugs, and write complex and relevant exploits against the modern operating system and software.

The reverse Engineering phase will cover complete reversing operations against Windows, Linux, macOS, and Android-based apps. also, you will learn about the complete insight of figure out the vulnerabilities that reside in the Applications and Operating system.

The Advanced Malware analysis Phase will train you to develop simple and effective Exploitation tools and exploring the vulnerabilities and the module of the exploitation that triggers the bug and bypass the target applications.

EHA covered various Topics, including Developing browser exploits, shellcode, Buffer overflow exploits, and windows, Linux, and Android-based exploits against recently patched vulnerabilities with the deep training approach even for Students with a limited programming background and experience.

John Michel, An Malware analysis and reverse engineering Expert Instructor from Ethical Hackers Academy, have to lead the course with the following Deep insights to train students from Very Basic to Advanced level.
