This repository documents my daily challenge of learning malware development and analysis in a controlled, ethical, and educational environment. Inspired by tutorials like Network Chuck and security research labs, the goal is to understand how malicious software works — so we can detect, defend, and prevent it in the real world.
Malware is software designed to disrupt, damage, or gain unauthorized access to systems.
By studying its techniques in a safe lab, security professionals can strengthen defenses and anticipate real-world threats.
- Python → scripting, payload prototyping
- C/C++ → low-level system interactions
- Assembly (basic) → shellcode exploration
- Virtual Labs (VMware/VirtualBox, FlareVM, REMnux) → isolated testing
- Understand common malware techniques: persistence, evasion, and command-and-control
- Recreate proof-of-concept implementations for educational awareness only
- Document daily progress as part of a learning challenge
- Focus on red team and defense research, not real-world malicious use
- Daily Updates → Code snippets, notes, and reflections
- Learning Focus → One malware concept per day (e.g., reverse shells, DLL injection, process hollowing)
- Documentation → Clear write-ups for recruiters and learners to follow
This project is strictly for educational purposes.
All experiments are conducted in isolated lab environments.
