Description
Rootkits and Bootkits: Reversing Modern Malware and Next Generation Threats explores the cutting edge of malware analysis. This comprehensive guide, written by three leading security experts, delves into the world of sophisticated threats buried deep in a machine's boot process or UEFI firmware.
Through numerous case studies and real-world examples, you'll learn how to understand and counter advanced threats, including rootkits like TDL3 and present-day UEFI implants. The book covers Windows boot processes for 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems, providing in-depth analysis of security mechanisms like Secure Boot.
With a focus on reverse engineering and forensic techniques, you'll gain hands-on experience with tools like Bochs, IDA Pro, VMware Workstation, and the Intel Chipsec tool. This book is essential for anyone looking to stay ahead of cybercrime syndicates and malicious actors who continue to develop persistent and covert attacks.
