Malware Development and Persistence Techniques.
The course will teach you how to develop malware, including classic tricks and tricks of modern ransomware found in the wild. Everything is supported by real examples.
The course is intended for Red Team specialists to learn in more detail the tricks of malware development (also persistence and AV bypass) and will also be useful to Blue Team specialists when conducting investigations and analyzing malware.

The course is divided into four logical sections:
- Malware development tricks and techniques (classic injection tricks, DLL injection tricks, shellcode running)
- AV evasion tricks (Anti-VM, Anti-Sandbox, Anti-disassembling)
- Persistence techniques
- Cryptographic functions in malware development (exclusive)


Whether you are a Red Team or Blue Team specialist, learning the techniques and tricks of malware development gives you the most complete picture of advanced attacks. Also, due to the fact that most (classic) malwares are written under Windows, as a rule, this gives you tangible knowledge of developing under Windows.
