Course overview
Learn Malware Analysis Basics through practical experience
This is a 1.5-month Malware Analysis Basics Course in Ludhiana that teaches you to safely examine malicious files, not just define what malware is. The learning arc moves from malware fundamentals and static analysis, to dynamic analysis in a sandbox, and ends with threat intelligence and IOC reporting that a security team can use. You finish with a documented analysis report, a set of IOCs, a sandbox you configured, and interview readiness backed by techcadd’s placement support.

Curriculum
A path from first steps to shipped work
The syllabus is structured as a ladder, not a set of parallel topics. You start with malware fundamentals and static analysis, then move to dynamic analysis in a sandbox, and finish with threat intelligence and reporting.
3 learning modules01 / 03
Dynamic Analysis & Sandboxing
This module teaches you to run a sample safely and observe its behaviour in real time.
You finish with
A dynamic analysis log with process, file, and network activity.
Threat Intelligence & IOC Reporting
This module covers threat intelligence and how to document findings for a SOC team.
You finish with
An IOC report with actionable indicators.
Every module includes hands-on practice in a live isolated lab or on a real deliverable, not a slide demonstration.
What you learn
What you will learn in the Malware Analysis Basics course
The Malware Analysis Basics Course in Ludhiana at techcadd is designed to help students move from basic security concepts to practical malware investigation and reporting.
01 Set up a safe malware analysis lab
You will configure an isolated VM and sandbox environment, so you can run suspicious samples without risking the host machine or network.
02 Perform static analysis on a suspicious file
You will examine file properties, extract embedded strings, and use tools like PEiD and VirusTotal to identify potential malware family and behaviour without running the file.
03 Perform dynamic analysis in a sandbox
You will run a sample safely and observe process, file, and network activity with Procmon and Wireshark, logging every action it takes.
04 Extract indicators of compromise
You will pull file hashes, IP addresses, domains, and registry keys from the analysis, and structure them for use in a SOC workflow.
05 Write a threat intelligence report
You will document your findings in a clear IOC report that a security team could act on, using threat intelligence frameworks like TTP, STIX, and TAXII.
06 Present a malware investigation
You will walk through your analysis and defend your conclusions, simulating a real SOC handoff and building interview confidence.
Tools you’ll work with
- VMware
- VirtualBox
- Kali Linux
- Windows 10/11
- Procmon
- Wireshark
- PEiD
- Strings
- VirusTotal
- Any.Run
- Wazuh
The objective is practical investigation skill rather than memorised definitions.
The case for it
Your months should build more than a certificate.
A course is worth the time you give it only if you finish with work you can show and skills you can defend. This programme is built in a live isolated sandbox, so you configure a VM, run static and dynamic analysis on real samples, and write an IOC report yourself, and every deliverable is reviewed by a mentor who still works on incident response.
3Practical learning areasfrom static analysis to IOC reporting
You are not watching slides; you are configuring a VM and safely running real malware samples in a contained environment.
Each module ends with a specific deliverable — a static analysis, a dynamic behaviour log, an IOC report — that a mentor checks line-by-line for accuracy and completeness.
You learn to examine a file without running it, then observe its real behaviour with Procmon and Wireshark, and tie both into a single investigation.
You finish with a documented IOC report, a sandbox you configured, a verified internship certificate, and interview readiness backed by techcadd's placement support.
Why this course
Why should you choose this course?
Six things we hold ourselves to for every Malware Analysis Basics batch that starts in Ludhiana.
01 Live Isolated Lab:
You work in a safe sandbox environment from the first module, not a simulation.
02 Mentor-Reviewed Reports
Every deliverable — a static analysis, a dynamic behaviour log, an IOC report — is reviewed by a mentor who works on incident response.
03 Real IOC Extraction
You build a set of indicators of compromise (file hashes, network IOCs, registry keys) that you can use in a real SOC workflow.

Who can join
Who this Malware Analysis Basics course is for
This course fits anyone with basic networking knowledge who wants to work directly on threat detection and incident response.
SOC Analysts (Entry-Level)
You already monitor alerts but need to understand what a suspicious file actually does. You will learn to triage malware and write IOC reports.
IT Security Administrators
You manage endpoints and need to respond to infections. You will learn to isolate and analyse a sample safely before deciding on containment.
Cybersecurity Students
You have theoretical knowledge but no hands-on lab experience. This course gives you a real sandbox workflow and a report to show employers.
Incident Responders
You need to move faster during an outbreak. You will learn static and dynamic techniques to identify malware family and behaviour quickly.
What you actually need before day one
- A laptop or desktop — we help you set it up in the first session
- A stable internet connection for the online batches
- No prior coding or technical background
- Basic English reading — the tools and their documentation are in English
- About 6-8 hours a week outside class for practice
- Willingness to finish the lab task before the next class

SOC Analyst
An employer checks if you can triage a suspicious file, extract IOCs, and write a report — all of which are module deliverables.
Malware Analyst
The role tests your ability to perform static and dynamic analysis safely; your sandbox project and report are direct proof of this skill.
Incident Responder
Employers look for experience with containment and IOC extraction; your analysis workflow demonstrates this.
IT Security Administrator
The job checks your ability to identify and respond to malware on endpoints; your dynamic analysis is the proof.
Salary outlook
What Malware Analysis Basics pays, and where
Indicative ranges for the roles this course opens — what a fresher out of Ludhiana is offered, what the metro and remote markets pay for the same skills, and how that moves with two or three years of work behind you.
| Role | Ludhiana & Punjab | Delhi NCR & Bengaluru | Remote & freelance |
|---|---|---|---|
| SOC AnalystEntry | ₹2.4–4.2 LPA | ₹4–8 LPA | ₹20k–45k / project |
| Malware Analyst Entry to mid | ₹3.6–6.5 LPA | ₹6.5–14 LPA | ₹35k–90k / project |
| Incident ResponderEntry to mid | ₹3.6–6.5 LPA | ₹6.5–14 LPA | ₹35k–90k / project |
| IT Security AdministratorMid | ₹3.6–6.5 LPA | ₹6.5–14 LPA | ₹35k–90k / project |
Ranges are indicative, drawn from what our own students report and from openings we see through the placement cell. Actual offers depend on your portfolio, the interview and the company — nobody can promise you a number, and we do not.
SOC Analyst, Malware Analyst , Incident Responder, IT Security Administrator and related positions, depending on which part of the syllabus you go deepest on.
The first jump usually comes at 18–24 months, once you have shipped work you can point to. Depth in one area moves it faster than breadth across many.
Yes, and a good number of our students do. Remote and contract work is the reason Ludhiana candidates now compete for the same briefs as metro ones — the portfolio travels, the address does not matter.
IT services, manufacturing and export units running automation, e-commerce and D2C brands, healthcare, education, and the agencies serving all of them. Punjab hiring is broader than it looks from a job board.
It helps with the practical half. The projects and tooling carry into an M.Tech, MCA or a specialisation abroad, and the portfolio is often what separates two applicants with the same marks.
Future scope
The road ahead for Malware Analysis Basics
A course ends; the field does not. Here is the honest version of what the next few years look like for Malware Analysis Basics — where the roles go, and what is shifting underneath them while you learn.
- Year 0–1
Get in on proof of work
Entry roles such as SOC Analyst open as soon as you have projects that run. At this stage nobody is asking about your marks — they are asking you to walk through something you built.
- Year 2–4
Specialise and get paid for it
The generalists plateau; the specialists do not. Depth in one part of Malware Analysis Basics — the part your first job leans on hardest — is what moves you towards malware analyst work.
- Year 5+
Own the decisions
Architecture, standards, hiring and mentoring. The technical skill is assumed by now; what you are paid for is judgement, and judgement only comes from having shipped things that mattered.
AI is now part of the job
Teams expect Malware Analysis Basics work to be done alongside AI tooling. It raises the floor on output and raises the bar on what counts as a junior — which is exactly why the fundamentals in this course are taught the hard way.
The scope keeps widening
What used to be one narrow role now touches data, deployment and the product decision behind it. Every extra layer of Malware Analysis Basics you understand is another kind of room you get invited into.
Demand outside the metros
Remote and hybrid hiring means Ludhiana, Jalandhar and Chandigarh candidates now compete for the same roles as Bengaluru ones. Location has stopped being the ceiling it used to be.
Proof beats paper
Hiring has moved to portfolios, take-home tasks and live problem solving. A certificate opens a shortlist; work that runs is what gets you through the round after it.
