The virus Stuxnet was the first Cyber warfare malware that proved that a piece of code could escape the digital realm and wreak actual physical destruction - in this case, on a nuclear facility.
In this course, we’ll learn how to create a Cyber Weapon like Stuxnet using Python, Go programming language, ARM assembly language, C, and C++.
Dive deep into the concepts of Cyber Security and Cyber Warfare by learning to design, build, deploy, and operate Cyber Weapons for National Security.
Components of a Cyber Weapon and how to put it all together.
Learn to build multiple payloads for your Cyber Weapon. Your main payload would attack the PLCs to disrupt it's default operation, while another payload performs a Man-in-the-Middle attack to fake the inputs coming from the PLC's I/O modules and tell it's output to do what it wants, not what the stock hard-coded logic says.
At the same time, program the payload to replay previously recorded input data to make the PLC logic and the operator think that all is well.
Stealth: Learn to build a worm that executes all routines related to the main payload of the attack; a process that automatically executes the propagated copies of the worm; and a rootkit component that hides all malicious files and processes, to prevent detection of your Cyber Weapon.
Precision: Learn to write code that enables your worm to stay dormant while it is staking out the target, reactivating itself & attacking systems when the right conditions are met.
Program your Cyber Weapon to phone home when needed.
Your weapon would be designed to operate autonomously, but you will also learn how to code Command and Control capabilities (Fly-by-Wire) to flip the kill switch if and when required, to track the health of the worm itself, to monitor it’s operations, to collect telemetry, and to perform version control - update the worm on-the-fly as you learn from it's behaviour while it navigates hostile territory.

Data Structures and Algorithms
A good understanding of algorithms and the knowledge of when to apply them is crucial to producing software that not only works correctly, but also performs efficiently. The following topics on Data Structures & Algorithms (DSA) are covered in Level 1 of this course.
Talk to the Machine
Dive into machine organization without the extra overload of learning assembly language programming. Examples in C/C++, Python, Go lang, Java, and JavaScript, the topics below fills in the low-level details of machine organization that are often left out of computer science and engineering courses.
Secure Network Programming
Learn to think like a Cracker so that you can develop effective, defensive code. In this module, you’ll learn hacking techniques and get insights into understanding how to prevent hacking issues in your code. You will also learn to write and use scanners, sniffers, exploits, and how to write network security test harness for application and infrastructure.
Think Low-Level, Write High-Level
Learn to write portable and efficient programs by analyzing the output of compiler and interpreters. Learn the types of machine code statements that compilers and interpreters generate for common control structures and explore how to choose the best statements when writing High-Level Language code. Design & write shorter and faster programs that translate into efficient machine code.
Hack with Python
Learn to program in Python while making and breaking ciphers—algorithms used to create and send secret messages. Make, test, and hack Python programs that encrypt text with ciphers like the Transposition cipher and Vigenère cipher. Learn to write Python code for the Reverse and Caesar ciphers, and then work your way up to public key cryptography - the type of encryption used to secure today’s online transactions, including digital signatures, email, and Crypto currency like Bitcoin.
On Cybersecurity
Beginning with the use of antipatterns and moving through improvements in security architecture, customizing tools, effective pen testing, and network monitoring, learn how to build security into an organization’s systems. The following topics are covered in this module:
Crack the Cybersecurity Interview
Hone your skills with:
Version Control using Git & GitHub
Version control is a system that records changes to a file or set of files over time so that you can recall specific versions later. Using a VCS also generally means that if you screw things up or lose files, you can easily recover. In this module, you’ll learn to use version control using Git & Github.
Everything in Level 1 plus additional subjects as highlighted below. Download syllabus.
Forge your Weapons, Part I
In this module, you’ll learn how to move from a theoretical understanding of offensive computing concepts to a practical implementation. Instead of relying on another attacker’s tools, you’ll learn to forge your own weapons using Python.
