In this section, you will be introduced to the core concepts required to successfully perform the static analysis of samples for various platforms, including the basics of architecture and assembly. While you may already have some prior knowledge of the x86 family, less common architectures, such as PowerPC or SH-4, are also extensively targeted by malware nowadays, so they shouldn’t be underestimated.

In this section are the following chapters:

  • Chapter 1, Cybercrime, APT Attacks, and Research Strategies
  • Chapter 2, A Crash Course in Assembly and Programming Basics
