The purpose of CST 160 is to gain an understanding of the different families of malware and how the malicious actions performed by the malware are coded and controlled. Malware authors need to have a good understanding of operating systems, file systems, network communication, programming, and cryptography, as well as tricks to hide traces of malware on a system. Numerous examples of actual malware are examined in a safe and secure way. By examining malware we learn about its "indicators of compromise," which in turn help detect future attacks and plug security holes that allowed the malware to infect the system.
