The UbiCrypt Summer School on "Reverse Engineering" offers graduate students
and young researchers the opportunity to learn more about binary analysis
and malware reverse engineering. In cooperation with the SysSec Network of
Excellence, we offer fascinating topics and hands-on experiences in this
emerging field.

The UbiCrypt Summer School 2013 will take place between July 22-26 2013 at
Ruhr-University Bochum (RUB). The event is organized by the Horst Goertz
Institute for IT-Security (HGI), more specifically the Chair for Systems
Security. It will be a mix of lectures and hands-on exercises, allowing the
students to learn how binary programs can be analyzed.


** TOPICS **

- Reconstructing data structures in a given binary executable
- Unpacking malware samples
- Analysis of recent and modern malware samples
- Binary instrumentation
- Analysis of Android malware

** WORKSHOP **

A special event is planned for Wednesday (July 24): the SysSec Network of
Excellence organizes a workshop focused on system security research, to
consolidate the Systems Security research community in Europe. The specific
format of this workshop has been developed to:

- showcase and spread the excellence in systems security research in
  Europe by presenting a selection of papers published by European
  researchers and Europe-funded research projects in top conferences in
  the area
- involve students and young researchers by allowing them to showcase
  their own best results and expose them to top researchers in the field
- create a generational exchange between experienced and starting
  researchers, focusing around a tutorial on how to get your research
  published in top venues


The registration fee for the event is 200 Euro. This amount includes daily
refreshments, lunch, workshop on Wednesday, and social events (BBQ and
excursion).




**SCHOLARSHIP**

We offer a scholarship for those who are seeking financial support. The
selection committee places a strong focus on financial hardship.
