AIDE 2013
Knowing how to perform basic malware analysis can go a long way in helping
infosec analysts do some basic triage to either crush the mundane or recognize
when its time to pass the more serious samples on to the the big boys. This
presentation covers several analysis environment options and the three quick
steps that allows anyone with a general technical background to go from n00b to
ninja (;)) in no time. Well … maybe not a “ninja” per se but the closing does
address follow-on resources for those wanting to dive deeper into the dark world
of malware analysis.
Bio: Grecs has over 17 years experience, undergraduate and graduate engineering
degrees, and a really well known security certification. Despite his formal
training, grecs has always been more of a CS person at heart going back to his
VIC-20, Commodore 64, and high school computer club days. After doing the IT
grind for five years, he discovered his love of infosec and has been pursuing
this career since. Currently, he spends his days doing cybersecurity paperwork
drills in building multi-billion dollar government systems. At night he runs a
local infosec website and tries to get some hands-on skillz.
