What you will learn
What is malware development in Windows
What is PE file structure
Where to store your payload inside PE
How to encode and encrypt payloads
How and why obfuscate function calls
How to backdoor programs
How to inject your code into remote processes
Why take this 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 malware for latest Microsoft Windows 10. And by custom malware 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.

Pretty awesome course. Instructor speaks clearly, walks through the concepts of why the code and exploits is doing and then demonstrates. The C - Code is available for download and this course provides a Win10 VM -- so no typos or mistakes. VM contains the debugger files too -- which avoids finding a specific version! Thus, the learning environment is pretty much turn key and simple to follow along. Note -- the exploits taught here use non malicious shellcode - so this is a safe learning environment. Overall, very happy with the material, the speed in which things are explained and taught and can honestly recommend this to others. Last note, you want a firm understanding of C Code, exploits, and a good understanding of debugging and how application work in memory. You can take the course without it -- but please be prepared to watch some YouTube videos, read some coding / hacker books, or enroll in other Udemy courses to truly grasp the concepts taught here.

good course, It would be great if the author made another course on windows shellcode, and PE parsing

Fantastic course.
Very clear, very concise.
Laser-focused on Droppers, how they work, how to obfuscate and pivot, how to insert them into a real world binary.
This course does not teach payload/shellcode construction, so don't expect that. This is just about how to get whatever payload where it has to go.
Only regret is that the instructor did not spend any real time on AMSI bypassing (AMSITrigger), or equivalent.

This course was great! Although I was able to follow along, I feel like there are some (many) fundamental topics I need to learn.

Good material! Appropriate coverage for malware development newbies with fundamental knowledge about C language.

Instructor seem very knowledgeable on the topic, however he was not very good in explaining it to students step by step and seemed not engaged while explaining them as well. Some of my questions were not answered by the instructor for months now, if any.

Excellent study materials for aspiring RED teamers. Reenzo explains everything clearly, all materials and code samples are good, practical, and to the point. The course satisfies my needs as an experienced developer but a novice in Ethical Hacking programming.

It was a good choice to take this course, it is short and at the same time focuses on the most important aspects.
Motivation : 100%
Boredom : 0%

Even with a bit of experience with malware authoring, there's a tad bit of experience to pick up from this course. Was a delight to skim through some content and realize I ought to deep dive the whole thing before dismissing it. Interested to possibly pick up other sektor7/Reenzo Black courses in the near future to see if there's more nuggets like I found in this course. Thanks for the great course!

I would recommend this course for others, technically this course is very good to understand the basics of malware development and injection techniques.

This is the perfect course for someone who understands some programming and wants to properly understand malware development and functionality both conceptualy and practically. Would highly recommend.
