Book synopsis

Modern malware is always evolving because malware authors are constantly finding new ways to bypass security and avoid detection. Defending against (and even discovering) the latest malicious software requires cunning and extensive expertise because attackers have become much more sophisticated. One particularly fascinating and threatening area of malware development is that of rootkits and bootkits. We're talking hard stuff - attacks buried deep in a machine's boot process or firmware. These are the kind of attacks that keep malware analysts up late at night. But help is on the way. In Rootkits and Bootkits, authors Alex Matrosov, Eugene Rodionov, and Sergey Bratus share the knowledge and expertise they've gained during years of professional research. You'll learn how to expose hidden files systems that can make rootkits so hard to identify and remove. You'll explore how malware has evolved from rootkits like TDL3 to the present; how this stealthy software can take hold of a system; and how to counter anti-debugging, anti-disassembly, and anti-virtual machine measures. You'll also learn how bootkits work, and how Windows boots so that you can better prevent infections in the first place. Cybercrime syndicates and malicious actors keep pushing the envelope, writing ever more persistent and covert attacks. But the game is not lost. In this low-level tour through the wilds of malware, you'll learn how to reverse next generation threats. Explore the cutting edge of malware analysis with Rootkits and Bootkits.
