Virus et techniques virales

Objectives

Learn the following concepts:

    Presentation of viruses and worms
    Presentation of anti-viruses
    Experiments

Description

The objective of this course is to introduce students to the theory of worms and viruses. A first part is dedicated to the study of the algorithms used by worms and viruses to infect computer systems and spread. This knowledge is necessary to understand the protections against these malware. These protections are the subject of the second part which is devoted more particularly to anti-virus software with the methods they use to detect worms and viruses. At the end of this course, the student will be able to appreciate the stakes of the viral protection, to describe the various types of computer infection, to analyze the viral and antiviral techniques and to react in case of infection.
