// Shellcode Loader Generator Masterclass
Master shellcode loader generation with comprehensive evasion. Learn injection techniques, syscall gate methods, NTDLL unhooking, AMSI/ETW patching, sandbox detection, and how Hooka’s Go library and CLI combine them into weaponized loaders. By D3Ext.
What shellcode loaders are, the loader lifecycle, EDR detection layers, and how Hooka compares to ScareCrow, Freeze, and Shhhloader.
02 BeginnerSuspendedProcess, ProcessHollowing, NtCreateThreadEx, callback-based execution, APC injection, No-RWX, and remote thread variants.
03 BeginnerWindows syscall internals, direct syscalls in Go, Hell’s Gate, Halo’s Gate, Tartarus’ Gate, and API hashing for function resolution.
04 IntermediateEDR hooking mechanisms, Classic unhooking, Full DLL unhooking, Perun’s Fart, AMSI patching (2 methods), and ETW patching (2 methods).
05 IntermediateEight sandbox checks (CPU, RAM, disk, hostname, drivers, processes, username, internet), ACG Guard, BlockDLLs policy, Phant0m EventLog suppression, and custom sleep.
06 IntermediateAES, 3DES, RC4, XOR shellcode encryption, Shikata Ga Nai encoding, Caesar cipher strings, random naming, UPX compression, and code signing.
07 AdvancedImporting pkg/hooka, programmatic loader creation, combining injection + evasion + encryption, sRDI DLL conversion, and custom tooling.
08 AdvancedComplete CLI reference, building loaders for real scenarios, maximum evasion combinations, output formats, testing, and operational tradecraft.
