Understanding Windows API Functions
This section explores the critical role of Windows API functions in malware analysis and reverse engineering. It begins with an introduction to how these functions serve as a bridge between software and the operating system, enabling processes to interact with system resources. Students learn to configure debug symbols to enhance the debugging experience and navigate MSDN documentation to understand API functions effectively. Advanced lessons delve into analyzing API calls, identifying their purpose, and using tools like IDA Pro and x64dbg to trace their execution. By the end of this section, students gain a comprehensive understanding of Windows APIs and their significance in dissecting malware functionality.
