Session
In the evolving cyber threat landscape, reverse engineering is crucial for understanding and mitigating malicious attacks. This session covers the essentials of reverse engineering, including assembly language, binary code, and key tools like disassemblers and debuggers. Participants will explore practical techniques for analyzing malware, learning to identify and dissect various types through real-world examples. The session includes a hands-on demonstration using tools like Ollydbg and Ghidra, focusing on unpacking, disassembly, and extracting Indicators of Compromise (IOCs). Additionally, best practices and strategies to overcome common challenges in reverse engineering will be discussed, equipping security professionals with the skills to effectively defend against cyber threats.
