Spring 2014 

In spring 2014 there are three courses using this course code:

  1. Course 1: Reverse Engineering Malware (5 cr)
  2. Course 2: Mobile Platform Security (3 cr)
  3. Course 3: Software Security (4 cr)

This Noppa page will be used mostly for the Reverse engineering malware course. See under Lectures etc.

The Mobile platform security and Software security courses are joint courses together with University of Helsinki. They have extra pages in Noppa in Noppa, but most of the information is on UH web pages. Aalto students will receive the credits for T-110.6220 Special Course in Information Security. Thus, no need to apply for JOO studies or anything else. The bus 506 goes from Otaniemi directly to the Kumpula campus. Note: Sign up for the Mobile platform security course is already open! The number of participants is limited.

 

 

Old information from Spring 2013

 

The topic of the spring 2013 course is Reverse Engineering Malware, and it is worth 5 credits. The course will be lectured in English by visiting security researchers from F-Secure Corporation.

The course teaches students what malicious code is and how it can and analyzed. We will cover reverse engineering of executable code on different platforms such as Windows and Android.

Evaluation is based on homework assignments and a course project. 60% of the grade comes from the homework assignments and the other 40% from the project. There is no examination.

Prerequisites for the course are

  • T-110.4100 Computer Networks
  • T-106.1220 Data Structures and Algorithms
  • Basic understanding of Windows or other OS internals (e.g., T-106.5150 Operating Systems Project)
  • Computer architecture (e.g., S-87.3190 Computer Architecture)
  • C or Assembly programming skills

Only at most 40 students can be accepted for the course.
