=Analysing Malicious Documents=
One of our resident trainers and fellow Belgian, Didier Stevens, will teach you how to analyse malicious PDF or MS Office documents using his own created Phyton tools in this 2-day course!

===Course Description===
PDF exploits and malicious PDF documents have been on the radar for several years now. Together with MS Office files like Word and Excel documents. But do you know how to detect them? And how they are constructed?

This training will teach you how to analyse PDF files and MS Office files (both “old” OLE and “new” XML formats). PDF files that execute code via exploits. MS Office documents that execute code via macros or exploits. Didier Stevens will teach you how to use his Python tools to analyse PDF documents and MS Office documents. 

Didier’s Python tools also use YARA rules to detect shellcode or other indicators of executable code. Didier will explain his YARA rules, and teach you how to tweak them and build your own.

Attendees will receive a personal license to Didier Stevens Labs’ “PDF and MS Office Analysis Workshop” videos.
