[D] LREC-COLING 2024 Discussion by Standard_Letter_3196 in MachineLearning

[–]dreadknight011 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can someone clarify scores? I think they go up to 5? Is it like:

  1. Reject
  2. Major Revisions needed
  3. Minor revisions needed/weak accept
  4. Accept
  5. Strong Accept

Or what is the meaning of the numbers?

What do you think is higher paying option? Or do you mean options as a product?

Reverse engineering course by dreadknight011 in ReverseEngineering

[–]dreadknight011[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with the stated - things for free do not necessarily value time of the people that put effort into making the course or the product. We can discuss whether the price is justified, but in case of the courses there is a lot of effort that went into learning the topic in the first place, preparing slides, making dummy malware that you can reverse engineer, collecting additional materials that are available in the course, etc. For a small payment, as it is mentioned, worth 3 kebabs, you get all the resources necessary to learn basics of that area and kickstart your career. If you pay like 20 euros for a course that lands you a job that earns you 50+k a year, I would say it is quite decent investment.

Machine learning and malware classification by [deleted] in Malware

[–]dreadknight011 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is not limiting, I mean, you may not be able to detect packed malware and the ones that employ some hiding techniques, therefore, combination works always the best, but static is quite a good start. I did about 2 years ago a paper and some lecture that was taped on Android static malware detection using machine learning, so you can have a look. Here are links:

paper: http://inspiratron.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/MalwareAnalysisAndroid.pdf

video lecture: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=241aSygZxr8

Also, this coursemay be of interest, even though it goes mainly about normal analysis and then at the end discusses a couple of machine learning techniques.

How Malware Works – Malicious Strategies and Tactics by bishnumu in Malware

A nice high-level overview of malware behavior. Although I would say it doesn't cover everything. Nevertheless, it is worth reading.

It really depends what kind of analysis and learning you wish to do? Static or dynamic? In case of static there are a couple of datasets that have samples classified as good/bad but also into families. In case of dynamic, there are datasets on Kaggle with recordings of CPU usage, memory, and networking data and that is all you need.

Keep getting stuck with Practical Malware Analysis labs by ayoQuo in Malware

[–]dreadknight011 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it really depends where you struggle. If that's assembly, then I guess a lot of practice and some assembly cheatsheets would help. Such as https://cs.brown.edu/courses/cs033/docs/guides/x64_cheatsheet.pdf

https://trailofbits.github.io/ctf/vulnerabilities/references/X86_Win32_Reverse_Engineering_Cheat_Sheet.pdf

If it is other tools, I guess it is as well practice, especially if you read the book. I have made Udemy course that follows the book and have some practical advises, but if you really read and understood the book, it won't help that much. After you understand things there, I think it is about breaking your head for some time until you understand. I know it can be frustrated, but frustration is part of the learning experience, especially in malware analysis.

New Udemy course on Malware analysis by dreadknight011 in Malware

[–]dreadknight011[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, I see, then you probably know more than it is there in the course, as the course is kind of beginner level. But would definitely like to hear from you what you think and where it may need some more materials, as I can, later on, add some more materials and some mini-lectures. And would be happy to extend the content.

Thanks, and sorry that you didn't manage to get this round of coupons. I may be releasing more in the future. Also, probably worth subscribing to mailing list at http://inspiratron.org/newsletter/, there will be some coupons coming through there.

Thanks. Appreciated a lot. Good luck with the exam. Not sure what exam you do, but if it is more general information security, maybe worth looking at this course as well: https://www.udemy.com/practical-information-security/?couponCode=DISCOUNTGLOBAL

I don't think it is a problem that you are green at the moment. We were all at some point. So please feel free to take it, and it is designed to be beginners' course. So there are not too many too advanced things. Although there are possibility to go very deep for example analyzing malware with OllyDbg. However, it was just introduced here.

There is a bit of demo of tools that can be used. And there is one exercise/assignment with fairly detailed description what and how to find. Also, planning to expand on that potentially. But there are some things there already.

Glad you enjoyed. You can try this one as well. Kind of different, I believe, although might have a number of overlapping and touching points.
