BSides San Antonio 2026 June 13 at St. Mary's University This talk provides a practical introduction to malware analysis for beginners, focusing on building a foundational workflow rather than reverse engineering. In my talk, I will be covering key principles around ensuring a safe lab setup, basic static analysis, and dynamic analysis using sandbox environments, in addition to any tools that you have within your own lab environment (FlareVM). I will be referencing my writeup as an example.
