Killboy Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I'd go for C++, simply because it allows you to go 64bit without much effort. It's not as fast as MASM (if you code MASM properly that is, poor MASM code is worse than good VB code in that matter ) but allows you to do most low-level stuff within the language specs, even without inline asm. Other than that you really need to know what youre doing. All the stuff you quoted is pretty important, especially Windows internals for the integration into the OS (drivers etc.) and knowledge of the PE format. Besides, you'll have to collect all the malware signatures, so yeah, it's gonna be hard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxil122 Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 Thanks Killboy,I'd go for C++, simply because it allows you to go 64bit without much effort.It's not as fast as MASM (if you code MASM properly that is, poor MASM code is worse than good VB code in that matter ) but allows you to do most low-level stuff within the language specs, even without inline asm.I'm familiar with Win32 ASM (MASM package) , but i have a trouble which assembler i'm going to use. Source codes in MASM are more available than other assemblers. Anyway must to take a look in Fasm. I c it a good assembler.Other than that you really need to know what youre doing. All the stuff you quoted is pretty important, especially Windows internals for the integration into the OS (drivers etc.) and knowledge of the PE format.It's crystal clear right now, thanks.Besides, you'll have to collect all the malware signatures, so yeah, it's gonna be hardThe ClamAV database is free, i can start with this one.Thanks.

GamingMasteR Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 HIPS can give you info about how to make a self-defence system for the AV, also you can detect/restrict suspected behaviors by malwares . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxil122 Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 Ah i see GamingMasteR, thanks a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M2R Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Well, this is Ansav (An's Anti Virus by 4nV|e) source code. Build in MASM. It ain't best but it's good for starting to learn how to code AVNote : Sorry for my bad englishScAnsav.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxil122 Posted January 10, 2009 Author Share Posted January 10, 2009 Exactly what i'm seeking for ! Thanks so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
