Morphisec’s Michael Gorelik Hosts Series of Threat Analysis Meetups in Boston Area

Michael Gorelik, Morphisec Chief Technology Officer and Head of Morphisec Labs will be hosting the first in a series of threat analysis workshops/discussions on Thursday, September 27, 2018.

Workshops will focus on sophisticated malware attacking Windows-based stations. Anyone involved in, or interested in learning more about, malware reversal and cyber threat analysis is welcome to join. Discussions are highly technical and previous experience in reversing malware is strongly recommended, including familiarity with sniffers, IDA, WinDbg and other malware analysis tools. Participants should come equipped with laptops.

The first meetup concentrates on the dissection of an Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) delivered through a document, which leads to a Cobalt compromise. The threat is a genuine sample that was discovered targeting Morphisec customers. The workshop will look at various characteristics including VisualBasic deobfuscation, JavaScript deobfuscation, Sandbox evasion and Dll Reflective loading. In order to better prepared, it is recommended that attendees read this article, which has some components in common with the threat that will be analyzed.

Time: 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM

Where: WeWork Fort Point, 51 Melcher St., Boston
