BlackHatOps
BlackHat Operations – Offensive C Programs
A curated collection of clean, heavily commented C programs covering core offensive security techniques like sockets, reverse shells, shellcode execution, process injection and more. Built exclusively for offensive security research, education, and authorized red team operations.
Project Goal
Deliver clear, progressive, and production-quality C examples so learners and practitioners can:
- Master raw socket programming and network communication.
- Understand and build reliable reverse/bind shells.
- Safely test and execute custom shellcode.
- Learn real-world process injection and code injection techniques.
- Grasp offensive security primitives used in modern exploits and red team tooling.
All code is educational and intended only for authorized penetration testing, security research, and learning in legal environments.
Prerequisites
Linux (Kali / Ubuntu / Arch recommended):
sudo apt update && sudo apt install gcc gdb mingW-w64 build-essential
Windows: - Visual Studio (Community) or MinGW-w64 - Windows SDK
