IT professionals will be able to top up their skills, as Kaspersky has added its new ‘Reverse Engineering 101’ course to its ever-growing training portfolio. It offers comprehensive knowledge, giving trainees the best start to their careers in reverse engineering.
Businesses may lose sensitive data, money, and important market share as a result of cyberattacks. There are several ways that hackers attempt to achieve their objectives. A cybersecurity issue is one of the most difficult forms of disaster, according to small businesses. Experts from Kaspersky examined potential weak areas SMBs may have and identified several serious cyber threats for business owners to be wary of in 2023.
‘Reverse Engineering 101’ is a prequel to the ‘Targeted Malware Reverse Engineering’ training, a higher-level course already available in the Kaspersky Expert Training portfolio.
The course covers both theoretical fundamentals and practical reverse engineering cases. Starting from the basic concepts, learners gradually move through Intel assembly instructions, distinctive calling conventions and memory types, executable analysis and more, to finally reverse ‘real’ malware and solidify their knowledge and skills.
Effective learning is made possible by well-organized videos and a tonne of practice using exclusive code snippets that are available in a dedicated GitHub repository. Companies can develop the abilities of their workers without interfering with their work thanks to the on-demand internet format.
It will be helpful for cybersecurity consultancies and businesses that need to train their staff in pertinent practical skills as well as IT professionals who want to maximise their reverse engineering potential and become ready for increasingly difficult tasks.
Ivan Kwiatkowski, Senior Security Researcher said “Reverse-engineering is traditionally regarded as a very difficult skill to master, especially for beginners in the cybersecurity field. We designed this course with the hope of addressing this gap so that participants would be able to get acquainted with this subject with no prerequisites beyond having some basic software development knowledge. Reverse Engineering 101 contains all the required theory, but at its core aims at providing practical experience first and foremost. We hope it helps many talented individuals join the cybersecurity ecosystem!”
