Practical Linux Malware Development

Over the past couple of years, Linux malware has been on the rise. This has created a greater interest in studying and analyzing such threats against Linux platforms. This course aims to equip you with the knowledge to not only emulate such threats but also be in a better position to detect and mitigate them from your Linux environments.

This course will take you through developing your very own Linux malware with capabilities like executing shell commands, file transfer, and taking screenshots. You will also learn how to achieve persistence in Linux. Finally, we will create our custom server using the Python programming language. The server is what we will be using to interact with the malware on the target system.

That makes the course therefore relevant to both red teamers and blue teamers. System administrators will also benefit from the course. Red teamers will be better equipped to emulate such threats against Linux environments, while blue teamers and system administrators alike will be in a better position to detect and properly respond to such threats.

Also, if you are a software engineer interested in more hands-on learning about the programming language, this course will help you with that. Python is also used, and this makes the course also suit Python programming enthusiasts.
