This module develops a student’s understanding of fundamental underlying software technologies (such as understanding and debugging C and assembly code) and builds on this with techniques to perform reverse engineering and analysis of malware. Students will gain an understanding of the behaviour and design of malware and perform hands-on analysis of binary files using static and dynamic analysis techniques to determine the behaviour of malware. Students’ critical problem-solving skills will be developed through a series of technical challenges that require them to put theory into practice, to apply the techniques covered to reverse engineer malicious software.
