Malware Challenge

The malware challenge site is dedicated to helping security practioners hone there skille in malware analaysis.  They routinely release new oppurtunities.

Taken from their site:

Malware has become an ever-present danger in today’s computing world. Due to the constantly changing nature of malware, analysts cannot rely on the traditional means of protection, anti-virus software, to identify and protect their systems.

Analysts now need to be able to analyze malware that anti-virus software does not detect.

This is what the challenge is about.

The 2008 Malware Challenge is the first of what we hope to be an annual challenge where participants will be given a chance to analyze a piece of malware, use their skills to see what they can determine about the malware and win some prizes in the process!

I would encourage all of you to experiment with this great learning tool.  http://www.malwarechallenge.info/index.html
