Overview What You Will Learn Curriculum Instructor

Course Overview

Over the past couple of years, Linux malware has been on the rise. This has created greater interest in studying and analyzing threats against Linux platforms. This course equips you with the knowledge to emulate such threats and to better detect and mitigate them in your Linux environments. The course walks you through developing your own Linux malware with capabilities such as executing shell commands, transferring files, and taking screenshots. You will also learn how to achieve persistence in Linux. Finally, we'll create a custom server in Python to interact with the malware on the target system. The course is relevant to both red teamers and blue teamers; system administrators will also benefit. Red teamers will be better equipped to emulate threats against Linux environments, while blue teamers and system administrators will be better positioned to detect and respond to them. If you're a software engineer interested in hands-on Python practice, this course will help you. Python is used throughout, making the course suitable for Python programming enthusiasts.
