Apple's new M1 systems (aka Apple Silicon) offer a myriad of benefits ...for both macOS users, and well, to malware authors as well.
However, before analyzing malware targeting this platform, one must master various foundational topics such as understanding and reversing arm64 code.
In this talk, we'll cover such topics and then apply them in order to analyze the anti-analysis logic of the first malicious program compiled to natively target Apple Silicon.
Armed (ha!) with the information and analysis techniques presented in this talk, you'll leave well on the way to becoming a proficient macOS M1 malware analyst!
