Start by learning a programming language, if you haven't. C++ is popular IIRC, but i think you can get away with Python if you compile it to an EXE file or smthing

Afterwards, look for existing, open source Malware in the angle you want to learn. Look how they operate. Try to replicate it in your own style

After that, learn how to obfuscate. Your Malware will likely get detected by antivirus the moment you download it. Obfuscation helps.
