"Art of Malware Analysis course was one of the best courses that I have went through. The course is affordably priced, content is comprehensive and the range of topics covered is impressively wide. Ahmed assumes you're a complete beginner and walks you through basics of static and dynamic analysis, explains concepts in a thorough and easy to understand manner. The course takes you through the latest tools such as Ghidra, walks through several real world malware samples."
Result: Learned Ghidra and real-world malware analysis

Security Analyst
"AMA is one those courses which starts from basic and builds on that knowledge in a way that is engaging and easy to follow. Unlike other courses that use old malware families, AMA uses latest malware samples such as Vidar, AgentTesla etc. to cover key techniques. One of my personal favourite chapter in the course is automation where we used python to write a config extractor. Overall the course is thoughtfully designed and is recommended for anyone learning malware analysis."
Result: Built automated malware config extractors with Python

"I thoroughly enjoyed The Art of Malware Analysis course by Ahmed Saleem Kasmani. The most enjoyable aspect was that course covers fundamentals in a short and sweet manner in order for you to absorb rest of the material. I did like that both static and dynamic aspects of malware analysis were covered to make it comprehensive and versatile. Final bonus with sample walkthrough was the icing on the cake. I highly recommend this course to anyone working in incident response and forensics areas or simply those who are malware enthusiasts!"
Result: Gained comprehensive static and dynamic malware analysis skills
