Operating System Intrusion Analysis

While the security industry and professionals continue to seek the silver bullet solution to all Intrusion Detection System pitfalls, the reality is there is no solution that eliminates human decision-making as part of the analysis process. Too many companies forget this, investing heavily in the infrastructure without making a comparable investment in their analytical personnel. Even large companies make the mistake of relying on the machine rather than the analyst.

Discovering exactly how a hacker has infiltrated a system can be difficult without previous information about the system in question. This course teaches students how to correctly baseline an operating system and save information that can be used later to confirm whether or not an intrusion has taken place. Additionally this course teaches the fundamental commands and tools that can be used to investigate common areas that reveal intrusions or lead to further analysis of the system. Both Windows and Linux Operating Systems are used in the course.

Assembly for Reverse Engineers

It’s no secret that in order to be good at Reverse Engineering and Computer Exploitation you have to know assembly language. Unfortunately many malware analysts have never formally learned assembly and they end up wasting precious time trying to figure out the intent of some random assembly code. If you’re a malware analyst trying to maximize your reversing abilities then we cannot suggest this course enough to you. In fact, this course was developed because so many people who attended our Intermediate Malware Analysis course realized they were missing the ability to effectively read and understand assembly and asked us to build this course. Even if your not a Malware Analyst but instead a programmer who wants to increase the performance of your code you can equally benefit from this course.

Understanding how a compiler transforms high level language into machine code is what this course is all about. We’ll teach you the common assembly statements that you’ll see in the real world as well as how read the language. After you have firm understanding of the statements and how the operands work we’ll start introducing you to writing your own assembly programs. By the end of the course you’ll be given assembly code that you’ll have to reverse engineer back to high level source code using the skills you learned.

Attending students will learn:

» Data representation (Bits, bytes, 2’s compliment, number system conversions)
» Stack memory, Heap memory, Stack tracing
» Essential assembly instructions used most frequently
» X86 memory addressing modes
» Repetition, branching, function calls and call stack tracing
» Write in line ASSM statements in C source code.
» Encryption and ASSM obfuscation

Prerequisites:

» General computer programming knowledge and Basic Malware Analysis is highly recommended.

Introduction to C++ Programming

C++ is regarded as a "middle-level" language, as it comprises a combination of both high-level and low-level language features which makes it perfect for novice programmers who are ready to advance to the next level of programming. C++ is also the most commonly used high level programming language in the real world for both legitimate software as well as malicious software which is better known as Malware. Needless to say, if a security analyst has a background in C and C++ they will be better equipped to analyze highly advanced malicious software and that’s exactly why we teach this course at ANRC.

In usual ANRC style we start this course with a brief overview of the C++ language as well as the history behind it. It’s not long after that you’ll find yourself completely immersed in hands-on practical labs practicing what was just taught or following along with the instructor writing C++ code.

Penetration Testing of Information Systems

The ability of an organization to proactively test its own defenses is quickly becoming more a requirement than a luxury. Penetration testing (Pentesting) is a method of evaluating the security of a computer system or network by simulating an attack by a malicious user. The process involves an active analysis of the system for any potential vulnerabilities that may result from poor or improper system configuration, and known and/or unknown hardware or software flaws. This analysis is carried out from the position of a potential attacker, and can involve active exploitation of security vulnerabilities. Any security issues that are found will be presented to the system owner together with an assessment of their impact and often with a proposal for mitigation or a technical solution. The intent of a penetration test is to determine feasibility of an attack and the amount of business impact of a successful exploit, if discovered.

Attending students will learn:

» How to analyze their organizations network as a potential intruder would
» How to scan and launch attacks against encountered vulnerabilities
» How to gain access and escalate privileges without being detected
» How to recover from a successful intrusion
