Our Mission

Malware Analysis Academy exists to make malware analysis education accessible, structured, and safe. We believe that understanding how malware works is essential for defenders, and that this knowledge should be taught with the same rigor and discipline expected in a professional SOC or threat intelligence team.

Our platform bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical skill. Every lesson, exercise, and sample reference is designed to build real analysis capability while enforcing safety practices that protect you and others.

What you will learn

The curriculum covers core malware analysis skills, from foundational concepts to advanced techniques.

Static Analysis
Learn to examine malware without executing it -- PE structure, string extraction, import analysis, packing detection, and more.
Dynamic Analysis
Observe malware behavior in controlled environments. Process monitoring, network capture, registry changes, and filesystem activity.
Behavioral Indicators
Extract and classify indicators of compromise (IOCs) -- file hashes, network signatures, host artifacts, and persistence mechanisms.
Reverse Engineering
Dive into disassembly and decompilation. Understand control flow, API calls, anti-analysis techniques, and packer internals.

Our Safety Commitment

Safety is not optional. It is built into every layer of the platform and enforced before you ever interact with a malware sample.

1

Browser Cases

A Browser Case returns deterministic, recorded tool output. No specimen is downloaded or executed in the Browser Case.

2

Optional Live Labs

Optional Live Labs use external samples inside a learner-managed isolated VM. We teach VM configuration, snapshot discipline, and network segmentation before that work begins.

3

No Hosted Malware

We do not host malware binaries. Optional Live Lab sample references point to external repositories and remain separate from Browser Cases.

4

Safety Gate

A safety acknowledgement and quiz come before access to Optional Live Lab sample references.

5

Ethical Guidelines

We enforce strict ethical guidelines. Analysis is for defensive learning only. Users agree to never deploy, distribute, or weaponize any techniques or samples.

The public Browser Case and free-tier material are free, with no credit card required. Advanced paths and Optional Live Labs remain premium.
