Locked Malware Development and Reverse Engineering

[Guest]

 

Many malware analysts perform reverse engineering on malware without knowing the why’s. They only know the how’s. To fill that knowledge gap, I have created this course.

You will learn first-hand from a Malware Developers’ perspective what windows API functions are commonly used in malware and finally understand why you need to trace them when reversing malware.

Learning Methodology:

Build programs that simulate Windows Trojans and Reverse Engineer them.

This will make you a better Reverse Engineer and Malware Analyst and also Penetration Tester.

The best way to understand malware is to be a Malware Developer.

Features:

Every topic will contain two parts:  programming and reversing.

In the programming parts we will be writing programs that simulate trojan behavior by using API functions typically found in malware.

Then, in the reversing part, we take the programs that we wrote and perform reverse engineering on it

In this way, you will, for the first time, really understand why malware analyst do what they do when reversing a piece of malware

What you will learn:

How to compile and build executables and dynamic link libraries (DLL)

Windows API used in Malware

Creating shellcode using Metasploit on Kali Linux

Hiding shellcode payload in executable files

How to analyze and inspect memory of a running malware

Injecting Shellcode into running processes

Creating Remote Threads

Encryption of Payloads and Function Call String Parameters

Obfuscation of Function Calls

Malware Stealth Strategies

Encoding of Payloads

Trojan Development Life Cycle

How Anti Virus works under the hood

Using Yara to study malware signatures

Anti Virus Evasion Techniques

Dynamic Runtime API Loading

By the end of this course, you will have the basic skills to better understand how Malware works from the programmers’ point of view. This knowledge and skills are suitable for those aspiring to be Red Teamers.

Also, having practical knowledge of malware development will give you a better understanding of how to reverse engineer malware. For example, when reversing and analyzing a trojan, we usually put breakpoints of dangerous API functions calls – but don’t know why we do it. Now, in this course, I will show you the reasons for it. By the end of this course, you would have gained a solid foundation for understanding why and how malware reverse engineering works.
