What you'll learn

The goal of Clustering is to classify malware based on Features and Behavior extracted and correlate the information to understand the attack flow.
Goal of Features Extraction is to identify unique Static features in the binaries that help to classify them into a specific malicious group.

1 section • 16 lectures • 1h 42m total length

Course Intro3:57
Explore the fundamentals of cyber threat intelligence, including evidence-based seti, context around threats, indicators of attack and compromise, attacker identity and motivation, and hands-on labs.
Phases Overview Part 13:39
Security teams use threat intelligence to understand attackers and techniques, exemplified by Microsoft and FBI dismantling the Gameover Zus botnet through monitoring and cooperation.
Phases Overview Part 25:39
Phases Overview Part 35:29
Hunting Part 16:10
Hunting teaches how to collect samples from diverse threat sources to profile malware and actors, using VirusTotal as a web-based aggregator of engines, scanners, and paid services with APIs.
Hunting Part 29:22
Features Extraction Part 17:50
Learn how feature extraction identifies static binary features to classify them into malware groups, building on hunting. Analyze timestamps and digital certificates to assess authenticity and origins without executing code.
Features Extraction Part 27:17
Behavior Extraction Part 16:52
Leverage behavior extraction, a dynamic analysis method, to identify unique features in malware, group them by behavior, and support threat intelligence through sandbox observations, memory-dump insights, and api call patterns.
Behavior Extraction Part 25:54
Classify malware behaviors into families such as droppers, injectors, and downloaders, and discuss keystroke capture, anti-debugging, sandbox evasion, and delay techniques used to evade analysis.
Behavior Extraction Part 36:45
Explore malware behavior extraction, focusing on persistence through registry keys, services, and scheduled tasks, plus ransomware and memory hash dumping, and passive dns insights.
Clustering and Correlation8:04
Classifies malware by features and behaviors through clustering and correlation, then maps attack flows with a graph database of nodes, properties, and relationships linking indicators like IP addresses and identifiers.
Threat Actor Attribution Part 15:27
Threat Actor Attribution Part 25:57

Description

Learn a practical skill-set in securing laptops, desktops and mobile devices from all types of threats, including, advanced hackers, trackers, exploit kits, thieves and much more.

On this course we cover end-point-protection, which is an extremely important and hot topic in cyber security right now!

Become a cyber security specialist - Go from a beginner to advanced in this easy to follow expert course.

Covering all the major platforms Windows, MacOS, Linux, iOS and Android.

Master the selection and implementation of solid disk encryption technology to protect devices from disk decryption attacks.

Understand the current and next generation anti-virus solutions, how they work, how to select the best products and how to implement them successfully.

Covering traditional end-point-protection technologies through to next generation and future technology; application control, execution prevention, machine learning and Artificial Intelligence.

Learn how we can detect and monitor for threats such as malware and hackers through the use of security through deception and detection technologies.

We have fun learning how to seek and destroy system resident malware and hackers. Get up to speed on your hacker hunting!

Learn how to perform operating system hardening to decrease the attacker surfaces of your devices to make them safer.

Explore the best techniques in anti-forensics to securely delete data and meta-data so that it is unrecoverable by even computer forensics experts.

Plus there is more. We end by looking the extremely important topic of email and messenger security. Email has natively poor security, but in this course, I teach you how to overcome those weaknesses and fully secure your communication.
