A self-paced workshop with slides and exercises teaching the fundamentals of malware development for offensive security practitioners, covering the Windows API, shellcode execution and injection, and AV/EDR evasion. Materials were presented at Hack in Paris 2022 and X33fcon 2023, with primary language support for C# and Nim.

Use cases

• learn malware development from scratch
• understand how EDR evasion techniques work
• get started writing shellcode loaders in Nim or C#
• red team operator training on custom payloads
• study Windows API usage for offensive tooling
• defender training to understand attacker techniques

When to choose

• you are a beginner in offensive security wanting a structured, hands-on introduction to malware development
• you are a red teamer who needs to move beyond pre-compiled payloads
• you are a defender or malware analyst who wants to understand how evasion techniques are built

When to avoid

• you want a production-ready offensive security tool rather than educational material
• you need an up-to-date course reflecting the latest EDR landscape, as the last release was mid-2023
• you are looking for general software development or defensive security engineering resources
