2. Dynamic Analysis: Analyze malware samples by executing them in a controlled environment. This allows you to observe how the malware behaves and interacts with other systems.
3. Reverse Engineering: Deconstruct malware samples to understand their inner workings and identify vulnerabilities.

Tools and Resources:

1. TryHackMe Labs: Provides a virtual environment where you can practice malware analysis techniques on real-world samples.
2. Remnux: A Linux-based distribution specifically designed for malware analysis.
3. Virustotal: A free online service that allows you to scan files and URLs for malware.
4. Strings: A command-line tool that can be used to extract strings from executable files.
5. PEiD: A tool that can be used to identify the packer used by a malware sample.
