Real threat actors utilize various Tactics, Techniques and Procedures (aka TTPs). One of the tactic is Persistence – a way to survive a breached machine restart and preserve access to a target environment. There is a lot of focus on what methods adversaries use to exploit a particular vulnerability or how their C2 channels and infrastructure look like. Less often you find discussions about persistence. This course is aiming to change that. You will learn almost 30 different persistence techniques working on Windows 10. Most of them were used by nation-state threat actors, like EquationGroup, Turla, APT29, ProjectSauron or malware, including Flame or Stuxnet. As usual you will get not only full explanation of each technique with examples, but also a working code templates (written in C) and a complete development environment you can experiment with.

In the modern enterprise Windows  environment we often encounter lots of obstacles, which try to detect and stop our sneaky tools and techniques. Endpoint protection agents (AV, IDS/IPS, EDR, etc.) are getting better and better at this, so this requires an extended effort in finding a way into the system and staying undetected during post-exploitation activities. This course will guide you though modern detection technology and teach how you can try to avoid it. This means understanding how the technology works and developing certain capabilities to stay under the radar. You will receive a virtual machine with complete environment for developing and testing your software, and a set of source code templates which will allow you to focus on understanding the essential mechanisms instead of less important technical aspects of implementation.

Advanced offensive security tool (OST) development topics for Windows user land only, including: hidden data storage, rootkit techniques, finding privileged objects in system memory, detecting new process creation, generating and handling exceptions, building COFFs and custom RPC-like instrumentation, and more.

• playing with Process Environment Blocks and implementing our own function address resolution
• more advanced code injection techniques
• understanding how reflective binaries work and building custom reflective DLLs, either with source or binary only
• in-memory hooking, capturing execution flow to block, monitor or evade functions of interest
• grasping 32- and 64-bit processing and performing migrations between x86 and x64 processes
• discussing inter process communication and how to control execution of multiple payloads

Are you a pen tester having some experience with Metasploit or Empire frameworks? Or maybe you take your first steps as an ethical hacker and you want to know more about how all these offensive tools work? Or you are a blue teamer or threat hunter who needs to better understand the internal workings of malware? This course will provide you the answers you’re looking for. It will teach you how to develop your own custom offensive security tool (OST) for latest Microsoft Windows 10. And by custom OTA we mean building a dropper for any payload you want (Metasploit meterpreter, Empire or Cobalt Strike beacons, etc.), injecting your shellcodes into remote processes, creating trojan horses (backdooring existing software) and bypassing Windows Defender AV. You will receive a virtual machine with complete environment for developing and testing your software, and a set of source code templates which will allow you to focus on understanding the essential mechanisms instead of less important technical aspects of implementation.

Through OALABS we want to bring you the kind of reverse engineering tutorials that we wished we had when we were first learning to analyze malware. With Patreon we offer access to a wide variety of tutorials and workshops aimed at all skill levels. Our RE101 level tutorials cover important topics like how to setup a malware analysis lab, as well as reverse engineering fundaments like learning assembly, and how to use a debugger. Our RE201 level tutorials cover malware analysis specific topics like how to bypass anti-analysis checks in malware, and how to resolve dynamic imports. Our RE504 level tutorials cover advanced reverse engineering topics like how to bypass software protectors such as Themida, and VMProtect. Patreon also allows us to maintain a set of free publicly available malware analysis tutorials on YouTube as well as weekly malware analysis streams on Twitch.
