Description:Malware and cyber-attacks are an all too common occurrence in today’s digital world. Reverse engineering is the process of taking a system apart and figuring out how it works. Cybersecurity analysts use reverse engineering to determine the functionality of malware. When the functionality is determined, analysts can use that information when responding to the malware infection. Other uses of reverse engineering include determining functionality of programs whose source code has been lost, development of low level software defenses, and the development of offensive software exploits. This talk will demonstrate the process of reverse engineering and show some of the techniques that compilers use when generating executable programs.
