Malware Analysis and Reverse Engineering Course
- badrabbit 7y agoLooks like strictly static analysis? I am personally very interested in using dynamic analysis to guide static analysis efforts. When I do run into malware I need to know its harmful effects and persistence mechanisms (!) immediately so I can do IR. That's a different purpose than research or countermeasure development.
- GEBBL 7y agoSome of this stuff is like black magic to me! Absolutely brilliant to see this in the public domain.
- ColanR 7y agoTypo in the first paragraph: undergrarduate
- JohnnyHerz 7y agoGreat Content! but the lectures OMG... The Lecturer is brutal. the "Umm" rate in his talks is inexcusable for a professional public speaker, which is what I classify any "teacher" as. Makes the lectures impossible for me to listen to.
- falsepsyche 7y agoThis professor is actually pretty good compared to the other computer science professors at the University of Cincinnati.
- koheripbal 7y agoThis seems like a pretty meaningless criticism. If you can't listen to it - maybe that says more about you than him?
- ryanlol 7y ago> This seems like a pretty meaningless criticism How is that a meaningless criticism? For lecturers the ability to present in an engaging manner is at least as important as understanding the subject.
- koheripbal 7y agoImagine how much more efficiently you could absorb new information if you did not put arbitrary barriers on the "engagement" level of the source? The reality is that you are just being mentally lazy for not accepting new information because it isn't in the most palatable format. It is juvenile.
- ryanlol 7y agoThat’d be great, unfortunately real people aren’t like that.
- 1MachineElf 7y agoI would rather listen to someone who knows what they're talking about over someone else who talks sweet.
- brailsafe 7y agoUmm, I don't think so and those aren't mutually exclusive. Sit in a silent class trying to listen to someone who has no tonal changes in their voice for 1 to 3 straight hours multiple times a week and your interest will die hard and fast.
- _jal 7y agoCan confirm. The reason I'm a self-taught programmer today is that my 101 professor combined a near-perfect monotone with the ability to repeat himself, word for word, if you asked for clarification.
- nojvek 7y agoI feel there is a serious demand for transcribed audio lectures that is hyperlinked to the right entities. I.e you can hover over a word and it links you to the right lecture notes or the correct position in a video or something. I really prefer reading and doing rather than solely listening. For podcasts, udemy, YouTube, udacity I listen at 2x the speed with closed captioning (if available). It messes with your brain. Now I can’t listen to people for >5 mins at normal human speed.
- brailsafe 7y agoI'm pretty sure Khan Academy does this actually. Really good experience.
- andrewacove 7y agoI've had this debate with my academic advisor at CMU. I'd take a trained speaker–even an actor who doesn't actually know the material he/she's describing–as a primary lecturer any day, as long as I get access to someone who knows what they're talking about in a recitation.
- deevnullx 7y agoLooks like the course got a huge rewrite this year, especially the addition of Ghidra. Very interesting to see that, usually I just recommend RPISEC's course[0] but the Ghidra inclusion is huge. Great stuff. [0] https://github.com/RPISEC/Malware https://github.com/RPISEC/Malware
