I like the book. It has plenty of up-to-date information and actual implementations with links to GitHub. It's easy to understand and easy to read (letters are kinda small but still readable). The material is also good, the cover is matte and feels awesome

"Malware Development for Ethical Hackers" by Zhassulan Zhussupov offers a deep exploration of malware creation, aimed at readers with a strong interest in enhancing their cybersecurity defenses. The book is dense with technical knowledge and practical examples, making it a valuable resource for professionals looking to understand and simulate cyber threats to develop robust countermeasures.Zhussupov's expertise is evident as he covers a variety of topics, from basic malware creation to advanced persistence and evasion techniques. The chapters on Advanced Mathematical Algorithms and Custom Encoding Techniques are particularly impressive, offering a detailed insight that is rarely found in other publications in the field. Furthermore, the discussion on APTs and Cybercrime is enlightening and effectively captures the complexity of modern threats.However, the book is not without its challenges. Beginners may find the content overwhelming due to its technical depth. The book is rich in code examples and detailed descriptions, which helps in understanding the more complex topics. I am looking forward to a second part. Overall, "Malware Development for Ethical Hackers" is a very good book for those already familiar with the field, looking to deepen their expertise in malware analysis and development.I'm looking forward to a part two, as I know the author has a lot to contribute!

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.
