UbiCrypt Summer School - Reverse Engineering

The UbiCrypt Summer School "Reverse Engineering" offers graduate students and young researchers the opportunity to learn more about binary analysis and malware reverse engineering. In cooperation with SysSec Network of Excellence, we offer fascinating topics and hands-on experiences in this emerging field.



The UbiCrypt Summer School 2013 will take place between July 22-26 2013 at Ruhr-University Bochum (RUB). The event is organized by the Horst Görtz Institute for IT-Security (HGI), more specifically the Chair for Systems Security. It will be a mix of lectures and hands-on exercises, allowing the students to learn how binary programs can be analyzed.

Topics covered during the summer school include (among others):

Reconstructing data structures in a given binary executable

Unpacking malware samples

Analysis of recent and modern malware samples

Binary instrumentation

Analysis of Android malware

Workshop

A special event is planned for Wednesday (July 24): the SysSec Network of Excellence organizes a workshop focused on system security research, to consolidate the Systems Security research community in Europe. The specific format of this workshop has been developed to:



showcase and spread the excellence in systems security research in Europe by presenting a selection of papers published by European researchers and Europe-funded research projects in top conferences in the area

involve students and young researchers by allowing them to showcase their own best results and expose them to top researchers in the field



create a generational exchange between experienced and starting researchers, focusing around a tutorial on how to get your research published in top venues
