Here's something a bit new: a high-level overview of how malware works, how we talk about malware and how to think about developing it and defending against it.

Amazing video!
I loved the blackboard style, it allows a much more clear explaination.
Looking forward for more content!

[@tripp-tokyo]

I'm going to share this with all of my students
thank you for the great content!

[@lucav.k.7588]

It's a really interesting topic. It would be great if you would show some basics of the win api during the maleware tutorials.

great video, I think the blackboard conceptual stuff compliments the very technical coding streams nicely

[@infinitytsukuyomi4171]

Amazing video.
Can you do a roadmap video?

[@valhalla_dev]

What do you mean by "roadmap video"? What would you like to see on it?

Hi,
I really appreciate the content you create.
I am a web bug bounty hunter and want to get into red teaming.
What I mean by "roadmap video":
How to become a Malware Analyst/Developer?
What skills should I focus on?
What is the importance of algorithms and Data structure for a Malware Analyst/Developer?
Should I know how operating systems work behind the scenes?
and so on.
With some resources recommendations if possible.
Thank you.

which is better to use for malware development, C or rust?
