 Welcome to Memo Analysis for Head Shocks. I'm very happy to announce that I have finally created and published my first Memo Analysis course. This course is meant for beginners, but it will not stay that way, so I will eventually create courses for advanced topics as well. Now, the video today is explaining a little bit more about the surroundings of why I created this course, so in case you're interested in that. If you want to attend the course, please look into the description below or in the pinned comment, I will put a link there. So why did I create this course in the first place? If you are wondering why I'm not wearing any glasses, it's because I got new glasses and they have reflection that is, for me, it's disturbing in the video and I ask a very good friend how to get rid of the reflection in the glasses. So he's doing video production professionally and he actually said just get rid of the glasses. It's the easiest way, so I'm just not wearing them for the videos. I actually like myself better with glasses, but it's fine. So why did I create this course in the first place? Well, firstly, there are two main reasons for that. The first reason is I was quite unsatisfied. Since I started working as a Memo Analysis, I was unsatisfied with the resources that are out there about what the questions that guide me when I'm starting with the job and this didn't change in the last in years. What questions are those? Well, I work at an enterprise company and as a Memo Analysis there, my main task for many years was to analyze files that customers sent in. So they say it's a false positive, it's a false negative, please fix your product. And my task was determine is this really a false positive, is this file actually clean as is malware? And that's already where it starts, like where do you find resources and how you decide if it's clean or not? I don't, I have never seen anything that explains to me how I can distinguish clean from malicious circuits. Most of the resources out there, they start with the assumption that the file I already have there is malware. So and you reverse engineer it to find out more about it. Now that's a very important skill. Of course, like this is still the main skill of my analysis. But how do I find out if it's maybe in the first place? The next thing that I was wondering about as a beginner was when do I use which tool, what kind of step will bring success for analyzing the sample? So how do I know which step I need to take next? Because experienced analysts, they somehow know what to do. And but as a beginner, you are lost, you are like just okay, I try aimlessly this tool, that tool, that tool, and eventually something will work. And the second big reason that contributed to the decision to put out a course on a platform instead of publishing everything on YouTube is that I have been publishing free YouTube videos for the last eight years, and I have paid a lot of money to do that. So for instance, there is the license for Adobe Premiere, which I used to cut my videos. There is the equipment that I use to create those videos, the microphone and the lightning and anything surrounding that. There's a ton of work that has gone into it and license for binary ninja as well. So the reason I decided to put this on a platform where you have where you have an affordable price is so I get at least some of that money back that I put into my channel over the years. The ads that I get a little bit for YouTube ads, but it's like almost nothing. It's like three euro per month. That doesn't add up to anything. So if you want to support me, this is also a good way to do that. Anyway, that's it for me for today. So I hope to see you around.
