Malware development tips and tricks

[Kulverstukas]

This is an interesting one. I wonder what would you need to know to start creating malware. What languages to choose for such a development and what aspects are the most important.
Doesn't have to be for bad things, other malware authors make them because it is fun and whatnot.
I often see lots of more sophisticated malware to use ASM code. I assume that would be mandatory.
I had found a few books about malware creation, but they only describe useless stuff.

Code: (java) [Select]

del C:\users
please note that my malware only works on windows vista and late. for xp i am going to leave the rest of you to figure it out

After looking at your malware I came up with my own for linux

Code: [Select]

cd /
rm -rf

In my opinion make execute a program without the permision of the user or bypass AVs security brenchs are more difficult is not that Im a super hacker but I know a little of teory

One main thing to look at would be anti-AV techniques. Reading up on how AVs detect malware and the techniques they use will give you an idea on how to combat them. I personally think, that if you bypass AV software then the box is yours.

bypassing AVs or create FUD malware is amazing topic also pretty advanced tho we will have to use algorithms with maths or some stuff like that I bet kulver, techb or any tech student could do some stuff like that

I think what languages need to generate native code and has inline assembler. I used Visual C++, Delphi, VB, Pellec C and  AutoIt ;-) but now I stopped at PureBasic+FASM
And for written good malware you must to know about rootkits and write/use it.

Personally I think malware should benefit the black hat with minimal damage to the victim. Otherwise it is as pointless as vandalism.
