Google FLARE's free guide teaches malware analysis from x86 assembly basics

What happened and what to do

The guide Malware Analysis Crash Course, published as a Google Docs document by Jae Young Kim and Nick Harbour of the FLARE Learning Hub, is a free and structured resource for learning malware analysis. According to its preview, the chapters begin with x86 basics and run through instruction basics, meaning the fundamentals of assembly instructions.

For a company, the material can serve as a foundation for training internal security analysts or incident response teams. In practice, the work could include setting up a training path built on these chapters, an isolated lab for running samples safely, and records that track exercises and results. Analysis examples could also feed incident monitoring dashboards, without automating decisions that still require human judgment.
