I am passionate about Information Security, and I am very interested in the world of cyber attacks. My objective of taking the initiative to create this course is to show those who are interested in the subject of ransomware, how these powerful malware work.


COURSE SYLLABUS


Module 1

Knowledge About Ransomware

Ransomware operation, most famous ransomware and most dangerous groups, criminal groups website link.

This topic is important because we are going to learn how to handle the first ransomware attacks, we are going to learn who are the backbones of the attacks and many studies to be done.

Module 1 covered topics: 

Theoretical knowledge about ransomware clusters.

  • Let's learn about the most famous groups of ransomware
  • Introduction to AES and RSA encryption
  • Analysis of a ransomware (Ragnar Locker)

Module 1 exercises:

  • MCQ Quiz

Module 2

Golang Programming

In this module, we will learn the concepts of Golang, variables, structures, array and slice, for, if and else, data input and output, json, map, logical operators, switch case, etc.

Module 2 covered topics: 

  • This is the most important thing about the course, with it you will have an understanding about this powerful language. With this module, you will be able to use other programming languages using the same methodology of this course.

Module 2 exercises:

  • MCQ Quiz

Module 3

File Manipulation

In this module we will learn about file manipulation; this module is interesting because with it, we will know how our ransomware will act.

Module 3 covered topics:

  • In this module, we will learn how to create, copy, rename, delete, write, list and encrypt files.

Module 3 exercises:

  • Practical assignment.

Module 4

Building a Hybrid Ransomware

In this module, we already know how to manipulate files, Golang logic and encryption, so now we’ll start to build our hybrid ransomware using RSA and AES encryption, which is one of the most used in this type of malware.

Module 4 covered topics:

  • Here, we're going to start using our logic that we've learned about cryptography in practice, starting with string, symmetric keying, asymmetric keying, and file encryption.

Module 4 exercises:

  • Practical assignment.
