Requirements

You should have a basic understanding of operating systems and networking. Note that you do not need to be an experienced Java programmer, all the basics are included in this workshop, and you will learn all the basics in the course.

Description

In this course, you will learn how to create real-world Ransomware from scratch in Java. Thus, at the end of this course, we have cross-platform (running on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS) Ransomware, which helps you better understand a hacker mind, and protect yourself, your network, and your company in a practical way. This course's primary motivation is to share the necessary knowledge and experience about Ransomware design by an experienced Ph.D. in Cyber Security. We hope our course simply helps you understand how real-world ransomware functionalities and details (by learning how to create one of them from scratch). Needless to say, by taking this course, you equip yourself with concrete skills to become a world-class malware analyst and gain high-paid jobs.

Furthermore, we presumed the attendees have no background in malware writing. Hence, we explained all crucial points concretely and easily with multiple figures in simple language. For instance, you will learn necessary points about different cryptographic algorithms (e.g., Symmetric-key algorithm, Public-key cryptography, and hashes) as well as essential topics in Java programming such as hello-world program structures, OOP, strings, cryptographic APIs, file encryption and decryption, Java Virtual Machine bytecode, and Swing APIs. Finally, all videos are organized in chronological order so that a potential student can learn all necessary points from scratch step-by-step, along with private articles, and exercises, and source codes. This course comprises the following chapters:

* Prerequisite:

VirtualBox. You will be asked to download and run a Windows 10 VM with IDA free, Ghidra, dotPeek, x86dbg, a hexadecimal editor, and miasm.

* Who is it for?

Computer Science Students, IT and cybersecurity specialists, developers, QA experts, system administrators, and novice bug hunters.

* Attention:
