Description
Book SynopsisSecurity experts Alex Matrosov, Eugene Rodionov, and Sergey Bratus share the knowledge they've gained over years of professional research to help you counter threats. We're talking hard stuff - attacks buried deep in a machine's boot process or UEFI firmware that keep malware analysts up late at night. With these field notes, you'll trace malware evolution from rootkits like TDL3 to present day UEFI implants and examine how these malware infect the system, persist through reboot, and evade security software. The game is not lost.
Trade Review“This deep reference, jam-packed with code and technical information, will support an engineer or system administrator tasked with putting these vulnerabilities in their place.”
—Ben Rothke, Security Management“Alex Matrosov, Eugene Rodionov, and Sergey Bratus are experts in their field that have delivered a solid hands-on technical book. While enthralled with the stories from the trenches, I got flashbacks of my days of analyzing rootkits on SunOS and Solaris workstations about 20 years ago. It was a fun book to read.”
—Sven Dietrich, Cipher: the newsletter of the IEEE Computer Society's Technical Committee on Security and Privacy
"I enjoyed reading the book and learning about the malware, even if it was not particularly relevant to me, as 'I don’t do Windows.' Still, there’s more than enough here that’s relevant to Linux users, as malware writers are now turning their attention to Linux servers."
—Rik Farrow, USENIX ;login: magazine
"[A] seminal book that explains how to understand and counter sophisticated, advanced threats buried deep in a machine’s boot process or UEFI firmware."
