C/C++ prerequisite to getting started with writing malware

[lak1l (lakishere)]

So I’m just getting started with malware analyst and the number one problem that I got is what and where to learn enough C/C++ to write these program. There is so much online materials for basic C/C++ but I can’t find any source that teach more advance C/C++ for networking, system,… So do you know any good resource for these kind of stuff?

Thanks a lot

Reading MSDN resources is a good place to start and looking at leaks from major malware families. Carbanak is an interested family to look into. Other than that its gonna take a lot of trial and error.
