From BSides Querétaro → CCWD 🇲🇽🔥 Congrats to Fernando Romero! A red teamer who took on malware analysis and reverse engineering until he “lost the fear of it.” And we’re proud to support the @BSidesQueretaro CTF. Same philosophy: learn by doing 💚 #CCWD #BSidesQueretaro #CTF

There’s a difference between finishing a course and coming out of it more dangerous to malware. 🦠 Hinkul Maksym completed CCWD and, in his words, it “forced me to level up my malware analysis skills.” That’s the point. 🔥 #CCWD #MalwareAnalysis #ReverseEngineering

A recommendation opened the door. Ignacio did the rest. 🔥 Congrats to Ignacio Rey, a #TecdeMonterrey student and now a #CCWD Recommended by his professor. Challenged by real #malware . Earned through hands-on work. Welcome to the crew! #MalwareAnalysis #ReverseEngineering

Hola, al parecer solo estaran disponibles dentro de la plataforma desafortunadamente :-(

Congrats to David Moreno 🇲🇽 on earning his CCWD! Understand it manually. Break it apart. Then automate and scale. That's how malware analysts are built. 🔥 #CCWD #MalwareAnalysis #ReverseEngineering #training #cybersecurity
