Malware Development 2: Advanced Injection and API Hooking

Description

This course is about more advanced techniques in Malware Development. This course builds on what you have learned in Malware Development and Reverse Engineering 1: The Basics, by extending your development skills with:

advanced function obfuscation by implementing customized API calls

more advanced code injection techniques

advanced DLL injection techniques

understanding how reflective binaries work and building custom reflective DLLs

hijacking and camouflaging trojan shellcodes inside legitimate running processes

memory hooking to subvert the normal flow of a running process

exploiting the vulnerability in 32- and 64-bit process migrations

hooking the Import AddressTables (IAT) to replace it with your own functions

using inter process communication to control execution of multiple trojan processes

hooking API calls and replacing them with your own customized function

implementing DLL injection and API hooking to sniff and capture disk encryption passwords

advanced AV evasion and obfuscation techniques

and more…

You will learn first-hand from a Malware Developers’ perspective what windows API functions are commonly used in malware and finally have a deeper understanding of malware so that you will have enhanced skills when doing malware analysis later.

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:

Some topics 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.

In the final section, there will be a Lab Project, where you will combine all the knowledge you learn to create a trojan that can survive a reboot and sniff for a disk encryption password and capture it to a file.

Everything is highly practical. No boring theory or lectures. More like walk-throughs which you can replicate and follow along.

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. Even if you have no intention of creating malware, the insider knowledge and skills you gain from this course will make you a better security professional.

Also, having practical knowledge of malware development will give you a better understanding of how to reverse engineer malware. By the end of this course, you would have gained a solid foundation for understanding how hackers can exploit windows API to inject malicious code into other processes.
