I am an ethical hacker with 5 years in the business and found Malware Development for Ethical Hackers to be a valuable resource that offers a comprehensive look in the world of malware development. The book provides a unique perspective by exploring the techniques and strategies that cybercriminals employed. Yet maintains the focus of ethical considerations. I think this would be a good read for those that want to get in cybersecurity as an ethical hacker, exploit developer and security researchers. While it doesn't go into every detail of malware development, it gives security professionals a good start.

After finishing my Masters degree, which briefly covered malware I was eager to explore this complex field further. "Malware Development for Ethical Hackers" by Zhassulan Zhussupov provided the in depth exploration I was looking for. Despite not being a developer or ethical hacker I found this book to be clear and informative.The book does a good job of explaining malware and how to executie it with examples. Helped by the presentation of the material in an accessible way even for someone like me who isn't well versed in malware development. The inclusion of code that can be easily accessed from GitHub is particularly useful. It allowed me to experiment and gain an understanding of how malware functions without the pressure of creating every line of code from scratch. This feature alone makes the book a valuable resource for anyone in expanding their cybersecurity knowledge.While I have no plans to create malware myself the insights and practical demonstrations in this book have significantly enhanced my understanding of the subject. They have sharpened my ability to critically analyse security issues. Enriched my overall expertise in the field."Malware Development for Ethical Hackers" proves itself to be a resource, for individuals looking to deepen their understanding of malware through hands on learning.Whether you're a student, a cybersecurity professional or simply curious, about the subject this book offers engaging content.

Zhussupov does an excellent job of making complex topics accessible, with practical examples that make the content immediately applicable. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or an ethical hacker looking to expand your skill set, this book is a must-have. Highly recommended!

I've been pentesting since 2008. In 2019 I developed my first C2 instance and have been interested in this subject matter ever since. The book is well organized and thought out and gives you what I call necessary basics that all beginners and even seasoned experts should know along with deeper topics suited for more seasoned individuals. You do need a pretty decent background in the languages discussed in the book especially C/C++. The code examples are well done which can be rare for books like this and the authors know and understand windows internals really well which is another art all in of itself that is rare to find or even master. The chapters are well thought out and honestly would be the same order that I'd probably put them in if I was writing a book like this. The only thing I did not like about the book which was written in 2024 is the use of Windows 7 and Windows 10 as operating systems in the examples. I would have liked to have seen more Windows 11 and potentially some newer server operating systems used in the book which brings about newer more up to date methods of exploitation, obfuscation and evasion techniques.
