>> Hey everyone. Welcome back to the course.
In the last video, we wrapped up our lab on Rootkits.
Again, that was an older Rootkit
>> along with an older tool,
>> but hopefully it helped you understand
some of the fundamentals that we go through
as we're analyzing if we have a device
>> that's infected with a Rootkit.
>> In this video, we're just going to go ahead
>> and wrap up the course.
>> We covered a few items in this course.
We talked about the basics of malware.
We talked about the differences between viruses, worms.
We talked about ransomware,
some of the common malware that you're seeing out there
>> as well as some famous ones
>> that have been in the media,
>> along with analyzing a malicious file.
If you remember the first lab we did,
we went ahead and created a malicious file.
Then we went ahead
>> and analyzed that malicious executable.
>> Then finally, we wrapped up with a lab on Rootkits.
Again, in that one, we went ahead
and isolated the processes that we're running
>> and then we went ahead and terminated those processes
>> to make sure that we were
>> stopping the Rootkit from taking action.
>> One thing we did not do in that lab
>> that you would do in the real world
>> is we would also look at the registry files
>> to verify that those are legitimate processes running.
>> You may be asking what's next.
What else should I go for
>> if I'm interested in this malware stuff?
>> Well, we do have a course on the site
>> called the Mobile Malware Analysis Fundamentals.
>> If you're looking for more
>> of the defensive forensic side of things,
>> that's a great course to take to get your mind working.
Now if you want to move into
>> the offensive realm of things
>> and actually write your own malware
>> for research purposes of course,
then I recommend you actually learn Python
>> if you don't already know it.
>> The best way to do that is to actually use
>> Joe Perez's courses: Introduction to Python
>> which will walk you through the basics
and then Intermediate Python
that will give you that solid foundation to stand on,
and then from there,
you can find additional information,
additional labs to go through
>> to really hone your programming skills
>> and then you can create your own malware again
>> for research purposes.
>> As always, I just want to say thank you
>> for taking this course
>> and I will see you in the next one.
