Certified Malware Investigator (CMI) Eğitimi

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

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

The course will give you:

• You will learn how to identify, analyse and interpret malicious software and associated forensic artefacts, including Trojan horses, viruses, worms, backdoors and rootkits
• How Trojan payloads can be used to bypass anti-virus software, personal and corporate firewalls
• You will practice malware investigations from mounted, booted and network perspectives, and undertake real-world exercises, including the conversion of E01 forensic images to bootable virtual machine disks
• The function, structure and operation of the Windows registry, and investigation of malicious software locations in the registry and file system
• The skills to analyse and interpret malicious software, and investigate network activity initiated by malicious software infection
• An understanding of how to simplify complex evidence, and collate and report results
• An industry-recognised qualification in malware investigation
