Next Meeting
OWASP Suncoast Chapter Meeting on Wednesday September 9, 2009 @ 6pm
Location: Gevity HR in Lakewood Ranch (9000 Town Center Pkwy, Lakewood Ranch, FL 34202)
Presenter: Wes Brown
Presentation Details: "So You Want To Analyze Malware?"
Malware is a broad category of malicious software that covers trojans, viruses, worms, rootkits, and other software that steals information or subverts computers into unintended purposes. There are many reasons why one would want to analyze malware, and they can range from professional interest in defending networks from them, to personal fascination in the techniques involved in crafting them.
Whatever one’s reason for analyzing malware, Wes will share many of the techniques that he’s utilized in the course of his career working on client incident response engagements as well as a full time analyst on a heuristic detection product.
Many might think that the techniques are dominated by methods such as reverse engineering and binary analysis, and indeed it is a major part of any analyst’s toolkit. However, statistical analysis, and static forensics can often play just as key a role, combined with scripting, systems management, and data warehousing.
Wes will describe and show examples of such techniques, as well as supporting tools. The emphasis will be on doing this with low cost or free tools, so that an audience member can get up and running quickly with malware analysis even on a shoestring budget.
