CSCI 4448 - Reverse Engineering

Prerequisites: CSCI 2210 or CSCI 2212 or CSCI 3351, CSCI 2246. This hands-on, deeply technical course focuses on reverse engineering of software applications (e.g., Android applications, Windows executables) which is an essential technique for both defenders and attackers in the cyberspace. Students will work on different platforms, learn about the typical architecture, analyze traditional software/apps/malware, may crack/manipulate existing software, use debuggers, and work on byte code. It is recommended that students have some programming experience (preferably in C/C++ and Java). 3 credits.
