how long can it take someone new to learn Coding crypter and a rat ? - inceptor - Jul 26, 2025
So i would like to know how long can it take for someone whos mediocre to learn how to code a crypter and a keylogger/RAT .
Please post some serious answer . I know it depends on an individual but lets say i have no coding background but i ave studied java/c in college 15 years back but remember nothing

It would take years, especially if you wanted a crypter that does more than simple encryption. You could do it faster, I imagine, if you devoted a lot of time.

Dang i thought i can build one in less than a year or so or even 6 months

You can start simple, a RAT is in core terms just a reverse connection. You could start simple by making the software start a remote shell to your server, that allows you to extend it later with various payloads, anti detection mechanisms, and privilege escalation etc.

[censored] Academy is well-respected and probably worth the money, but it's not cheap. Here's a 47-hour course that in theory will get you writing your own programs: The C++ Programming Bundle: Beginner to Expert

Do you have the skills? Then you can do it in less time.
The TAT or coding time is like "how much time u r willing to invest by coding"? Or how much u r getting paid?
Both questions have simple answers , thats on you.

Github has a hell of a lot of source codes for rats and crypts but they are far from FUD or really usable since they are public
but i recommend you start by looking over the source codes of similar projects you to want to create and go on from that

Could you update everyone on your progress and the results you've achieved so far?
I'm a new member too—I've only been here for about two or three weeks!

You gave him the key to the castle and he still didn't open the door!

A very long time and a lifetime of experience with how malware worked, and works. Writing code is one thing but understanding how malware infects a system and stays hidden etc is the real challenge. Using the correct libs etc that don't cause crashes. Better of buying tbh.

If you’re starting from basically zero, expect at least 6–12 months of consistent work before you can write decent C/C++ and understand sockets, processes, and basic Windows/Linux internals. A simple client/server project for your own lab is a different thing from a full “RAT” with all the extra stuff. Don’t start with evasion or anti-detection, start with fundamentals: C, C++, networking, memory, reverse engineering, and legal practice environments.
