A curated awesome-list of resources for malware development, rootkits, EDR evasion, and red-team tooling, intended for educational and defensive security research. It aggregates articles, courses, books, talks, and open-source proof-of-concept projects with a learning roadmap.

Use cases

• learn malware development from beginner to advanced
• find resources on EDR and antivirus evasion techniques
• study rootkit and kernel driver development
• research red-team implant and C2 tooling
• find malware development tutorials in Rust, Nim, or Go
• build a learning path for offensive security research

When to choose

• you need a curated starting point for studying malware development or evasion
• you want up-to-date (2025-2026) articles on EDR bypass and modern techniques
• you are a security researcher or red-teamer collecting reference material

When to avoid

• you need working production tooling rather than links and references
• you want defensive-only content without offensive techniques
• you cannot legally access offensive security material in your jurisdiction
