Chapter 7: Advanced Malware

In the previous chapter, we learned how to create a very simple malware that executes Windows commands sent by a hacker and returns the results of these commands. This program is very limited in terms of its ability to just execute commands. Ideally, for a Remote Access Tool, we would want to have much more advanced functionalities than this. This chapter will give you a basic idea of what more advanced functionalities you can write inside your malware program. We will cover the following topics in this chapter:

  • File transfer
  • Stealing Wi-Fi credentials
  • Taking screenshots
