Announcing Beta Exam MDA-BI-W

Basic and Intermediate Memory Dump Analysis (Windows track)

This is a practical examination where you are given 2 memory dumps and you provide your analysis and a log file. The goal is to demonstrate the usage of WinDbg commands and the ability to diagnose various abnormal software behavior patterns.

The beta phase is to collect analysis and logs from program participants and make a common baseline for the final certification exam. This program was extended until December 31, 2011. Please send your participation request using the contact form on this site and provide your name and email. In response you will get further instructions and a download link to the typical exam memory dumps. If you reply with your memory analysis before January 10 then in February we provide you with an assessment of your analysis.

Thank you for your participation,

Training testimonials:

I would like to thank you and recommend your training. I think that the “Accelerated Windows Memory Dump Analysis” training is a pin-point, well taught training. I think it’s the leading training in the dump analysis area and I’ve enjoyed it, the books and materials are very detailed and well written and Dmitry answered all of the needed question. In addition after the training Dmitry sent a PDF with written answers and more information about the questions that were asked. I will give this training 5/5. Thank you Dmitry. --Yaniv Miron, Security Researcher, IL.Hack
