Digital Forensics

This course aims to teach student how to conduct a digital forensics analysis of the file system, e.g. NTFS and FAT, volatile memory, and network traffic, using a sound digital investigation process. It begins by a basic background of interoperating raw-data and timestamps. Then NTFS and FAT file system layout will be discussed in details. The basic of memory acquisition, analysis and evidence
CIT660

Malware Analysis

The course aims to teach the students how to detect, analyzing and track a malicious program. It begins, by introducing the basics of reverse engineering concepts and using tools like IDA pro to analyze x86 malicious code. The concept of static and dynamic malware analysis will be introduced gradually through the course. After, the techniques commonly employed by malware to thwart the analysis

Systems Exploitation

Software is commonly vulnerable to flaws and bugs that affect the program logic, intention, and executions. These vulnerabilities are further allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary malicious code on a target system. This class will cover both the identification of software vulnerabilities and the most common techniques used to exploit them. In addition, current existing techniques that attempt
