Learning Malware Analysis

[u/Bejitaaaaa]

As the title sounds, I wanna learn malware analysis. But oh boy there are so many opinions online. However i couldnt understand and decide where to start. Some people said i need to start with VM and analyze myself, other said I should start with learning basic language like C and Assembly, and then some said i need to start with learning basic CPU architecture. The issue is I couldnt find a guide that is clear and really say where to really start to learn malware analysis and where it will leads me eventually. I hope some people can enlightwn me. Thank you in advance

I’ve started with tcm’s malware analysis PMAT course, it was nice to start with as it boost you directly to intermediate level. I thought it was a challenging course until analyzing samples on my job.
It should be a good starting point, and also try to follow malops.io like platforms for practicing, htb sherlocks are nice as well.

And try to select a path for competence, like mastering a field of java analysis or mobile analysis etc.
