Ok, so if you've been following my stuff, you know that I'm into Professor Sam Bowne's course from the Community College of San Francisco.
So far, we've been going through some basics in this class, such as introductory concepts, setting up the lab and getting through static analysis. Well, to get more in depth with static malware anaylsis, we're going to use IDA, which is a software just for that purpose.
There are two version of IDA, the free and the paid version. The paid version is very expensive and it's probably used by companies and, individually, by professionals who are deep into the field. For learning purposes, we will do just fine with the free version.
Anyhow, since this lesson is all about IDA, you should get the free version installed. And then, watch the lecture - in order to follow along.
