RED TEAM Operator: Malware Development Essentials Course
- 33 Lessons
- 365-day access
A course on becoming a better ethical hacker, pentester and red teamer by learning offensive security tools development in Windows.
Welcome to Malware Development Essentials course!
Are you a pen tester having some experience with Metasploit or Empire frameworks? Or maybe you take your first steps as an ethical hacker and you want to know more about how all these offensive tools work? Or you are a blue teamer or threat hunter who needs to better understand the internal workings of malware?
This course will provide you the answers you're looking for. It will teach you how to develop your own custom offensive security tool (OST) for latest Microsoft Windows 10. And by custom OTA we mean building a dropper for any payload you want (Metasploit meterpreter, Empire or Cobalt Strike beacons, etc.), injecting your shellcodes into remote processes, creating trojan horses (backdooring existing software) and bypassing Windows Defender AV.
You will receive a virtual machine with complete environment for developing and testing your software, and a set of source code templates which will allow you to focus on understanding the essential mechanisms instead of less important technical aspects of implementation.

FAQs
Why malware development?
So-called malware development in the context of legal security testing is also known as offensive security tool (OST) development. The goal is to teach all cybersecurity professionals, both red and blue teams, to use this knowledge to better understand how real threat actors operate and use different techniques (TTP). This approach should significantly improve the skillset of offensive and defensive teams in testing and securing the production environments of their customers and employers in the long run.
How long is the course?
All videos are about 4h long.
What language is used in the course?
All videos, text and materials are in English.
Is it on-line course only?
The course is composed of 2 types of materials. Videos, which are available on-line only, and virtual machine with source code templates, which can be downloaded and stored on your computer, so you can access it later off-line.
In case of video download attempts, access to the content will be revoked.

Do I have to be an expert in C language or Intel assembly?
No. Although some level of experience in C programming and Intel assembly reading is required, you don't have to be an expert in this field. Basic knowledge about the syntax, data structures and function calling convention is enough during the course.
