By Marco Hardwick

Book Description: In today's high-stakes cybersecurity landscape, understanding how sophisticated attackers think, build, and operate is no longer optional; it's essential. Black Hat C++ in Action is a technically uncompromising guide for security researchers, red teamers, advanced developers, and reverse engineers who want to master offensive tool development on Windows using modern C++.This book takes you far beyond theory. With detailed explanations, practical code examples, and real-world attack scenarios, you'll learn how modern adversaries craft droppers, loaders, fileless malware, kernel drivers, C2 implants, RATs, and red team automation tools all in C++. Every chapter is written to help you not just understand, but build what offensive professionals deploy in actual operations.Inside, you'll explore: The offensive advantages of C++ and how to leverage them safelyMemory manipulation, manual shellcode execution, and reflective DLL injectionWriting stealthy droppers and fileless execution techniquesBuilding fully functional loaders, second-stage payloads, and C2 channelsPowerShell and .NET integration from native C++ codeLiving-off-the-land with LOLBins for stealth and persistenceRed team automation, modular toolchains, and chaining offensive modulesKernel-level techniques including driver creation, syscall hooking, and rootkit conceptsOPSEC considerations, artifact reduction, secure cleanup, and responsible usageWhether you're simulating advanced threats, conducting research, or enhancing your understanding of Windows internals through offensive development, Black Hat C++ in Action delivers the technical depth and practical knowledge required to operate at a professional level.⚠️ Important Note: This book is for educational and research purposes only.
