C++ for Ethical Hacking - Build Your Own Red Team Toolkit with C++ and Raw Sockets

C++ for ethical hacking and penetration testing tools—learn offensive security by building real code. From port scanners to shellcode loaders, this hands-on guide takes you from beginner to pro in C/C++/.NET. Master network scanning, exploit development, and shellcode injection with practical projects. No fluff, just code that works. Start with a TCP scanner, then build a UDP sweeper, a multi-threaded port knocker, and a SYN flooder. Progress to process injection via DLLs, API hooking, and keyloggers. Finally, craft custom shellcode loaders and encryptors. Each chapter includes full source, explanations, and anti-detection tricks. Whether you're a security student or a professional red teamer, this book delivers real offensive skills. Competing with C# 14 and .NET 10 – Modern Cross-Platform Development Fundamentals and C# 12 and .NET 8 – Modern Cross-Platform Development Fundamentals, this is the only title focused on C++ for hacking. This hands-on C/C++/C#/.NET guide is written to be used at the keyboard: every concept is paired with something you can run, adapt, and keep. You move from first principles to real, working results, with the common errors and fixes called out along the way so you are never stuck for long.
