Script-Based Malware Analysis

Script-Based Malware Analysis, a course by John Hammond, is all about scripting language malware! Students will have an array of sections as a guide through some more approachable malware analysis. We’ll focus on malicious software that we can more easily turn into human readable code, rather than needing to try and make sense of a debugger or disassembler like IDA, GHIDRA, or others. This course will give you a solid foundation of the topic to apply to you daily life and possibly set you on a course towards a career in malware analysis.
