This is a core-level technical course for people looking to extend their digital forensic knowledge beyond conventional device analysis.

COURSE OVERVIEW

On this five-day practical course you will investigate forensic case studies, applying the principles, knowledge and techniques learnt during the course. It will help you protect your IT environment by showing you how to conduct malware analysis, from first principles all the way to investigating network activity stemming from malicious software infection that your AV software has failed to detect.

For corporate groups, we can organize this training as an on-site private group.

Prerequisites

Completion of the CFIP course is highly recommended. Otherwise you will need:

Knowledge of the principles surrounding forensic investigation and an understanding of the preliminary forensic investigation case considerations
Sound experience with the Microsoft Windows operating systems
An understanding of how a web page is requested and delivered
Ideally an understanding of Command Line Interface (CLI) and TCP/IP networking concepts

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

For those looking to develop their skills in malware identification and analysis, including:

Digital forensic analysts
Cyber incident investigators
Law Enforcement Officers
System administrators

What You Will Learn

THE SKILLS YOU WILL LEARN

Practical application of course content will be through the use of case scenarios in order to gain a practical understanding of modern malware beyond the often quoted traditional principles; mount forensic images for analysis; build virtual machines for analysis, and build a network environment to carry out network forensic analysis.

KEY BENEFITS
