What you'll learn

Sophisticated cyberattacks often evade standard antivirus defenses, making it critical for red teams to simulate advanced threats using custom-built malware. In this course, Specialized Red Teaming: Creating Windows Malware, you’ll gain the skills needed to create and test evasive malware for realistic threat emulation. First, you’ll explore the fundamentals of malware development, including language selection and environment setup. Next, you’ll discover how to build and refine malware capable of bypassing Windows Defender. Finally, you’ll learn how to use obfuscation and anti-analysis techniques to evade dynamic detection tools. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the knowledge and hands-on experience necessary to craft custom malware that can effectively test enterprise defenses and detection strategies.
