work and IT @ 15 Feb 2008 06:00 pm by ayoi
What a week. I think I nearly lost my voice for 4 days of conducting training. A good response from the participants and of cause for the first 2 days are the most challenging period of the training. To be honest at the end of each day, I think I’ve drained all the energy that I have not only for conducting the training but also to assist my colleagues for our MSS implementation at one of our most fussy (my view ONLY maa) clients so far.
Btw, as I am not buying any new books last two months, I’ve decided to print some articles from the Internet for light reading during my travel time from home to office (Yeah, I am using LRT both Putra and Star to get to work) One of the articles really attract my attention. The article title is Analyzing Malicious Code and of cause you can downloaded the article from hackin9.org Why I found that article is interesting?
Because for my personal knowledge enhancement, I plan to add my skills on Malware/botnets/viruses analysis. Initially I’m waiting for resources to implement honeypots at our company (and also I ordered Virtual Honeypots - From Botnet tracking to Intrusion Detection book) but due to some circumstances (also due to the tight schedule that I have) I have to put off the plan for a “while”
From the article it does show the methodology of performing the analysis and maybe I can start by analyzing virus or malware without having the honeypots implemented (yet). And of cause offensivecomputing will be one of the references besides honeynet.org. Also I’ve asked one of my colleagues here to assist or providing some guide while performing this type of analysis.
Hopefully I can find some time to do all these things (I have another 3 sessions of 4 days training to conduct) and meanwhile perhaps I can start by downloading all the necessary tools. Wish me luck (especially in finding free time)
