Before I begin, I'd like to state that I'm in no way responsible for how you use this information; type responsibly!
I'm writing this "book" because I noticed a stark lack of proper materials/guides that extensively teach how to develop malware. Sure, there's content on how to analyze malware, how to prevent malware, and all sorts of stuff, but no "this is how you develop a worm, have fun!". Why? I hear you ask; well, I think that lately, cybersecurity, both in the black hat and white hat (and whatever other hats are out there) has increasingly been all about profit and money. It's quite scarce to see some proper Hacktivism in action in public (I'll probably make a rant post on my blog, so check that if you're confused about what I mean). Imagine if people who wanted to make a change were able to design some malware to achieve their purposes.
This may as well be the stupidest set of things I've ever typed out and in all likelihood, this will be taken down or be ignored/go stale (although I plan to avoid that with all my might). So before all the morally good folk of the inter-web come to hunt me down with pitchforks and torches, I'd like to make a few points clear before you, the reader, proceed:
- I'm not writing this so that people use this information to get themselves arrested because they committed cybercrimes. If you wanna learn malware development, fine, but whatever you do with this information isn't my responsibility. It's all fun in games and pranks, but don't use this to do something illegal.
- I'm putting this information out here because, like me, some truly curious folks want nothing more than to learn how the f*** this "malware" stuff works, but can't find a definitive guide that just tells them how to do it all in a no-bullshit, no-fluffy-language manner.
- Just because there's a chance that this may be used with ill intent does not make it a bad thing. Intent is what matters.
- And lastly, if you wanna use this for malicious purposes, like DDoS-ing some organization's servers, go ahead, but don't hold me responsible for whatever the consequences; But remember: "It's only a crime if you get caught".
The points may be poorly phrased, but it hopefully gets the point across. Before you begin, I'd like to mention that this is something I'm writing on the go (i.e. I'm writing this stuff as I learn), so it may not be perfect and complete, however, I'll try my best to make it as good as possible. Anyways, have fun y'all.
