My aim for this post, and ideally for a continued series, is to provide a simple straight forward approach to setting up a malware analysis lab. Because of that, I wanted to start a blog series to document my process for others, in hopes that my journey will make it easier for anyone trying to get started in the field. I’ve only just started to learn how to setup a proper lab and all the various techniques that exist to breakdown and understand malware. Its also a field that is extremely new to me. This is something that has always drawn me to the field.

The process of breaking something down, looking at its individual parts, testing hypotheses as to what its capabilities are. Since joining the Cyber Security and Intelligence community in 2016, I’ve always had a strong interest in malware analysis.
