  • A crypter is software that prevents the malware code from being analyzed and reverse-engineered. It also prevents detection from anti-virus software.
  • Sheep dipping is analyzing emails, files, and systems for malware.
  • Terminate and stay resident is a virus that sits in RAM and infects anything opened on the system until the computer is shut down or rebooted.
  • Learned about different kinds of viruses, back doors, worms, and malware. 
  • I learned about malware analysis, including sheep dipping, static analysis, and dynamic analysis
  • Heuristic algorithms generate fairly accurate results in a short amount of time. It focuses on speed instead of accuracy and completeness.

This was accessed using login credentials of two employees at a franchise property. 5.2 million guests information were compromised. Didn't say if they caught them.
