IDA Private Training

Julian Kirsch, Product Owner, Hex-Rays (for Paris time zone)

In his role at Hex-Rays, Julian sits at the intersection of product, research, and development. Julian spends a lot of time talking to our power users to lear what is working (and what is not) to influence the product roadmap.

Julian has spent nearly half of his life as a reverse engineer, poking around binaries using IDA Pro much like our users. At one point, about 2 years ago, he asked himself, "Why not join Hex-Rays and help build the product in impactful ways?" At the beginning of his time at Hex-Rays, Julian was in development which gives him in-depth knowledge of the codebase and makes him an excellent trainer for all levels. He currently runs our Starter, Advanced Programming, and Advanced Decompiler courses.

Fun fact: Julian can solve a 4x4 Rubik's cube in an impressive amount of time. (He doesn't want to brag too much.)

Daniel B.

Daniel spends his days as a Principal Malware Reverse Engineer, predominantly focused on E-Crime malware, occasionally branching out to APT. Outside of his day job, he runs 0ffset Training which offers practical and affordable cyber security training, with a primary specialization in malware analysis and malware reverse engineering - he co-developed the Zero2Automated course. Outside of malware, he's interested in exploit development and threat intelligence.

Daniel is a longtime IDA user with over 7 years under his belt (keyboard?), mostly focused on the static analysis side of the house. He’s going on his second year of teaching our Advanced Malware class.
