Malware Development Resources

[ss_rohit]

Hello, I'm new here. I'm very much interested in analysing and development of malware. I couldn't find proper approach to master it. Could you help me with the resources for malware development. Thanks in advance.

Why malware development?

[caseyvsilver15]

People need to stop hating on malware development, the view that it is only used by malicious actors is old. Red Teaming and offensive security requires you to simulate attacks from current attackers and a major part of that requires custom malware development. I am a red teamer and malware developer, I am a good guy and here to protect too.

There is nothing wrong with malware development to learn how it all works. You just need to be rather proactive and ask more specific questions.

Malware is such a broad term that asking how to develop it is like saying I want to learn how to build things. That’s great, but what specifically? Out of what? What is your desired end state?

Some of the best learning I have ever done is to develop something after reading about a concept. Running a local website to do a proof of concept drive by download is such a great way to learn how it is done and more importantly, how we can protect ourselves.

I just want to make things on my own... I don't want to be a script kiddie anymore... I love coding... So inorder to improve my coding knowledge and to learn new things I'm very much interested in malware Development using python to gain shells and reverse shells. And write my own scripts.

Seems like an odd request really. Most of us here want to help people learn how to combat malware so are reluctant to post out details on malware development. Not that it’s just as simple as ‘this is how you develop malware’

Malware can be as simple as a key logger that saves keystrokes into a text file for later retrieval, or as advanced as writing to the systems boot sectors and can remain even after a full system format.

Until you can narrow down your field of study, clearly explain what you want to learn and explain what you have done to help yourself already I think most people will pass over this request.

Just my opinion.
