On our second class of the semester, we talked about Malwares and the history of Malwares that first came out, we talked about the creeper virus which was the first virus built, and once it ran it would display a message on the screen with the text "Catch me if you can!". this virus was then deleted or erase with a program called reaper. We also talked about other viruses that came out after that main one that started the "Malware", we also focused on what other programs we can use to detect malware such as honeypots. found the class interesting since I learned a few tools that can be use to detects malware.
For our lab this week, we were assigned to download nepenthes on our ubuntu box, and then I downloaded a few scanner programs and analysis tools such as, malcode, debugger and cff explorer.\
i played with them and learned somewhat on how to use them, with the network analysis tool when i played with it i was able to see IP addresses that were trying to access the Operating system i was using, such as packets trying to get in.
I would have loved to play with nepenthes but i just did not know how to use it very well and did not have anything to test it with, it would have been great to learn how to use this piece of software.
I find the class interesting but one thing that i noticed in the class is that we talk about the programs we are going to be using but we never really get to play with them in class and get to know the programs, that one thing i would like the class to do so that we can actually have experience using those programs.
