How do you get started in Malware Analysis? First, you need an analysis environment in-place to investigate files. Here is the fastest way to automatically setup a Virtual Lab Environment complete with a FREE VM directly from Microsoft and FREE analysis tools.

This biggest question I receive is "how do I get started in malware analysis?" I always recommend reading Practical Malware Analysis book. It is the best, most straightforward malware analysis book I or any of my colleagues have ever read, and it is where most of us started.

The second biggest question I get is "how can I setup a Malware Analysis Environment?" This commonly involves a laborious process of obtaining a Windows' License, setting up a new Virtual Machine, gathering many tools, dependencies, and updates. This can often take the better part of a day.





However, today I show how to expedite this tedious task with a 100% Free VM directly from Microsoft. Next, I demonstrate an automated solution from the great FLARE team at FireEye to setup your lab environment with the industries top Free-To-Use tools for malware analysis and exploit development.





This is absolutely the fastest, best, easiest, and free method I have ever found to setup a Virtual Lab Environment. All in all the process is completely automated and takes approximately 3 hours to complete depending on internet speed.
