The session focused on Malware Analysis and Intr o to Reverse Engineering. Dr. Shashikala began by outlining the malware li fecycle and various infection tactics\, highlighting types such as viruses \, worms\, Trojans\, ransomware\, spyware\, rootkits\, and keyloggers\, su pported by real-world case studies. Techniques for evading detection like obfuscation and polymorphism were discussed. Participants engaged in hands -on malware analysis within virtual machines\, using tools like Process Ha cker\, RegShot\, Wireshark\, and PEiD to monitor system behavior and chang es. The session also introduced basic reverse engineering principles. Usin g tools such as Ghidra and IDA Free\, students learned to analyze binaries \, identify malicious code\, and interpret assembly\, with an overview of decompilation\, function flow\, and control flow analysis provided through practical examples.\n\nOutcome: By the end of Day 11\, students had devel oped a comprehensive understanding of malware behavior\, infection vectors \, and analysis techniques. They gained the ability to use industry-grade tools to observe malware in action and extract actionable insights. The in troduction to reverse engineering equipped them with foundational knowledg e of binary inspection\, enabling a deeper appreciation of how cybersecuri ty experts dissect and understand malicious software. This session not onl y sharpened students' investigative abilities but also prepared them for a dvanced cybersecurity roles where analyzing and neutralizing threats is a core responsibility.\n\nAgenda: \nTo understand system hardening and patch management techniques that improve organizational cyber defense\n\nBangal ore\, Karnataka\, India LOCATION:Bangalore\, Karnataka\, India ORGANIZER:bms.ieeesb@gmail.com SEQUENCE:11 SUMMARY:BMSCE IEEE SB - Value added Course - Cyber Security - Day 11 URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/494243 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify\;">Br ief Summary:&nbsp\;On May 3rd\, 2025\, the Cybersecurity Value-Added Cours e (VAC)\, organized by the BMSCE Computer Science Department with IEEE Stu dent Branch and &lt\;CodeIO/&gt\;\, held its eleventh session in Room C-40 4\, led by Dr. Shashikala.
