Course Overview
Static and dynamic analysis. Reverse engineering. Writing Decryptors
The aim of this course is to provide a practical approach to analyzing ransomware. Working with real world samples of increasing difficulty, we will:
Deep dive into identifying the encryption techniques,
Navigate through various evasion tricks used by malware writers,
Have fun discovering flaws in their logic or the implementation and
Work out automated ways to recover the affected files.
If you're already familiar with the basics and want to dive straight into advanced samples, navigate anti-virtualisation and anti-analysis tricks, and write C and Python decryptors for custom crypto algorithms, please check out our Advanced Reverse Engineering Ransomware course!

As someone who has some experience in RE, this course was great. Cristina did a great job of explaining the content and the tasks required to RE the binaires. One recommendation to suggest is to present the "Practice Blue 1 Analysis" before "Practice Blue Decryption. Would probably help with the flow of the content.

There are a many things that are not explained, but for those with some knowledge it's not bad.

The meat of the course is in the scripts that were prewritten and not explained during the course. The course did not provide the content expected or any depth. It was a high level overview. After taking x86 and C courses from Udemy, I expected much more than this.
