In my opinion does not worth 500$
In my opinion, the Maldev Academy course doesn’t justify its $500 price tag. The content feels outdated and largely focuses on basic malware development techniques that are already widely available online for free. Rather than covering modern approaches—especially kernel-level concepts relevant to today’s landscape—it leans heavily on older, Windows API–based methods.
While the course does introduce foundational ideas, many of the techniques presented are no longer practical or effective in real-world scenarios. It also lacks depth in developing a true “hacker mindset” or strategic thinking, which is arguably more valuable than just learning isolated functions and implementations.
Overall, it may be suitable for beginners who want a structured introduction, but for the price, I would expect more up-to-date, advanced, and practically relevant content.
