How Training for Detecting and Eliminating Malware Will Proceed

As I mentioned, we will train to counteract malware – viruses, trojans, wipers – using real malware examples, created by highly skilled hackers and special services. In this chapter, I would like to explain how our training will proceed using simple illustrations.

Step 1. How Malware Works.

First, we will tackle the theory: how malware is structured and how it functions, how to detect it and counteract it, as well as how malware avoids detection and elimination.


Step 2. Tools for Fighting Malware.

The next stage will involve selecting tools, including a "sandbox," a traffic analysis system, and tools for auditing open ports, searching for rootkits, signature-based and behavioral analysis, and other necessary solutions. You will need to prepare the infrastructure for practical work – detecting, studying, and countering malware.


Step 3. Demonstration.

You will be shown the detection, study, and elimination of malware using a real trojan as an example. This is the final step, where you will be an observer.


Step 4. Training.

You will be offered to take legal software for cyber espionage, install it yourself, and practice your detection skills. This is useful in terms of being able to try out the tools of the configured infrastructure.
