Section: Lesson 19: Malware Analysis Thinking – Static vs Dynamic Clues (Safe, Basic) | Ninjutsu - Cybersecurity (FREE version)

Section outline

Lesson Objective: Introduce students to the fundamentals of malware analysis – how to examine malware safely to understand its behavior. The focus is on static analysis (inspecting malware without running it) versus dynamic analysis (running malware in a controlled environment to observe it). Students learn the basic clues each method can reveal and the importance of safe lab practices. This lesson empowers them to “think like malware analysts,” a skill that sets them apart from automated defenses. (Even in an AI-driven world, human analysts who can dissect new malware are invaluable.)
