Don’t just watch the YouTube video on Intro to Static Analysis! Hack-Along with forensics expert, Ali Hadi, in a web-based lab environment designed to provide an accessible introduction to the field of malware analysis.
When in a working environment, what’s the best way for new employees to learn? By shadowing current employees. Not only can junior professionals learn from more experienced practitioners, but seasoned veterans can also learn the specific ways in which an organization operates. Either way, shadowing is a tried-and-true method.
And that’s exactly what you’ll do in this Hack-Along (HAL)!
Ali will guide beginners in the fundamental concepts and techniques essential for identifying and understanding malware threats. As all HALs on the JHT platform, you get structured lessons to make the most of your lab time!
This first in the ShadowMe series focuses on Static Analysis. The 2nd ShadowMe HAL will extend your knowledge into Dynamic Analysis.
Price = $20
What’s a Hack-Along (HAL)?
A HAL is a structured set of chapters and lessons with virtual labs that accompany a public YouTube video from John Hammond’s Channel or other content creators. So instead of just watching the dissection of an attack or learning a tool or skill, you get to “Hack-Along” with John and his friends! HALs are between 30 – 120 minutes of student time and are presented with click-by-click instructions with screenshots. So, you’re never lost!
HALs comprise 99% instructional content with a small shoutout to other offerings on the JHT Platform to further one’s knowledge beyond what was just learned. HALs should be in the $20 – $50 range depending on the length of the content and the complexity of the virtual environment. Most will be only $20. Some are even in a “Pay What You Can” model.
What do I get?
This HAL comes with a pre-configured, web-based FLARE-VM for all tasks. A FLARE-VM is “a collection of software installations scripts for Windows systems that allows you to easily setup and maintain a reverse engineering environment on a virtual machine (VM).” You will also be provided not only with a structured set of Chapters, each containing numerous detailed lessons, but you’ll also be given 4 hours of lab time.
Prerequisites for HAL – Intro to Static Analysis
Although HALs come with step-by-step instructions, being comfortable with virtual environments is a plus.
Because the entire virtual environment is provided for you, you need nothing other than a computer, Internet access and your brain!
