File hashing for malware analysis Course
4 minutes
Course description
Hash functions uniquely summarize a piece of data, such as a file, in a way that it is infeasible to find two inputs with the same hash. This course explores how to hash files on a system and how to use those hash values to scan the system for other copies of the malware and to look up suspected malware on sites such as VirusTotal.
