Anuj Soni is a Senior Reverse Engineer at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) and the founder of The Malware Lab. With over 20 years of experience in malware reverse engineering and threat research, he has worked across government, security vendors, and consulting organizations, analyzing malicious code in support of incident response and threat research.
Anuj is the author of SANS FOR710: Advanced Code Analysis and co-author of FOR610: Malware Analysis Tools and Techniques, and previously served as a Senior Certified Instructor for the SANS Institute.
He also shares practical reverse engineering content on YouTube to help analysts sharpen their technical skills.
When Anuj is away from his keyboard, you'll find him at the local gym, or with his kids (which is also a workout).
Session
This hands-on workshop introduces the fundamental techniques analysts use to safely examine malicious Windows executables inside an isolated lab. Participants will learn how to build a dedicated malware analysis environment, follow an efficient and repeatable workflow, perform static inspection of suspicious files, observe real behavior during execution, and explore code for deeper insight. Through guided exercises and live demonstrations, you’ll see how reverse engineering deepens your understanding of adversaries, their goals, and what to look for on a compromised system.
