In this course, Setting Up a Malware Analysis Lab, Aaron Rosenmund and Tyler Hudak discuss why you need to have your own malware analysis lab. There are variety of roles outside of reverse engineering that performs dynamic analysis of malware samples. Having the skills to identify the indicators of compromise make you invaluable to incident response and security operations teams. You will learn not only how to build a virtual machine, but also how to modify the operating system to properly trick the malware into believing it is in a safe place to detonate, what tools to use, and how to run them in your own malware analysis lab.
