Intermediate Training

Introduction

This training deals with three distinct topics: First, we aim to equip students with the skills necessary to handle complex and non-standard situations encountered during static analysis. In the second part, we will delve into IDA's dynamic analysis capabilities and explore its debugging and tracing functionalities. In the third part, we will learn how to query information from IDA programmatically using IDA Python, and write some plugins using IDAPython and the C++ SDK.

Who would benefit from this course?

This class is designed for reverse engineers and security analysts ready to take their IDA Pro skills to the next level in complex analysis scenarios.

What you will learn

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to perform in-depth static and dynamic analyses with IDA Pro. At the end of the class, students will be capable of handling sophisticated debugging scenarios and developing basic automations.

Prerequisites

At least basic understanding of IDA Pro, Good knowledge of C++ and/or Python
