The Offensive Tool Development is the first course which is dedicated to Windows API exploitation to build your own tools for Red Team Engagements. If you have completed the Malware On Steroids course, then you can merge the capabilities you build during this course with the Command & Control built during the MOS course. This helps you to build your own CnC modules, all of which can be run in memory for detection evasion. There are a lot of courses which focus on exploitation, reversing and other offensive stuff, but none of them focus on writing your own tools and brining your own toolkit during an engagement.

This course is highly technical in nature, involving a lot of coding and all the tools will be written in either C or C++, sometimes PowerShell (maybe 5%) to make sure the user has capabilitiy to load every tool in memory and evade memory artefacts or detections. During the course, you will build your own reflective tools and shellcode for Host Enumeration, Lateral Movement, Domain Enumeration and Domain Privilege Escalation. You will learn to build different types of remote access tools running over different protocols including RPC, SMB, and HTTP and use exploit Windows Security Tokens for lateral movement within a Domain Environment.

The Red Team & Operational Security course is designed to help the candidates build the capabilities to simulate a modern adversary. This course will take you through the different stages of an Attacker killchain. You will initially learn to build your own Attack Infrastructure Setup in AWS, Azure or GCP using various Open Source and Commercial Command & Control Systems. After configuring the C2, you will learn to hide your C2 with Domain fronting and Redirectors and modifying the C2 Artefacts such as hiding your stage artefacts and identifying Cloud based Sandboxes and learn to build different types of initial access implants in Word, Excel, HTA and MSI using Open Source Tools and building some part of the code in-house in order to avoid EDR and Network-based Detections.

After gaining the initial access, you will be given access to Active Directory Domain Enviornment Lab on the cloud where you will first execute your initial access implant and gain access to a host. From thereon, you will perform different types of local and Active Directory enumeration to further escalate your privileges to an Enterprise Administrator. These attacks will use but not limited to understanding the Active Directory environment, Kerberos, domain enumeration with open source tools, Brute Ratel post exploitation toolkit and LDAP Queries, exploiting domain service misconfigurations such as unconstrained and constrainged delegations, certificate abuse and more.

The Malware On Steroids is the first course which is dedicated to building your own C2 Infrastructure and Payload. There are a lot of courses which focus on exploitation, reversing and other offensive stuff, but none of them focus on how you can build your own Command & Control Infra. This course focuses on a brief introduction towards Windows Internals followed by a full hands-on course on building a Command & Control architecture with different types of Initial Access payloads.

During the course, you will learn the core fundamentals of a Malware Lifecycle such as initial access, in-memory evasions, different types of payload injections including but not limited to reflective DLLs, shellcode injection, COFF injections and more. You will learn to build different types of remote access tools running over different protocols which we will later convert to in-memory modules that can be injected to any process. We will also write dropper and stagers in x64 Assembly, C and different LOLbins which will connect back to our CnC to extract the second stage and load it into memory for execution.
