This is the self-paced course. For live instruction, take the Malware Analysis Fundamentals (Intermediate) Course.

This course covers static analysis (examining a file without running it) and dynamic analysis (observing behavior via sandbox/monitoring reports), building the judgment for which technique to use when. It follows NIST SP 800-83 Rev. 1 and threads in the real tools and government resources analysts use — disassemblers, sandboxes, YARA, network capture, and CISA's Malware Next-Gen. Dynamic analysis is taught purely through explanation and example reports; no lab, sandbox, or live sample is required. In addition, a federal thread on sample sensitivity, data handling, and reporting runs throughout. This course Completes the Digital Forensics & Incident Response certificate (alongside Federal Incident Response and Digital Forensics & Incident Investigation) — part of the Cyber Operations Professional credential.
