Praise for Hacking Exposed™: Malware and Rootkits, First Edition

“Accessible but not dumbed-down, this latest addition to the Hacking Exposed™ series is a stellar example of why this series remains one of the best-selling security franchises out there. System administrators and Average Joe computer users alike need to come to grips with the sophistication and stealth of modern malware, and this book calmly and clearly explains the threat.”

—Brian Krebs
Reporter for The Washington Post and author of the Security Fix Blog

“A harrowing guide to where the bad guys hide, and how you can find them.”

—Dan Kaminsky,
Director of Penetration Testing, IOActive, Inc.

“The authors tackle malware, a deep and diverse issue in computer security, with common terms and relevant examples. Malware is a cold deadly tool in hacking; the authors address it openly, showing its capabilities with direct technical insight. The result is a good read that moves quickly, filling in the gaps even for the knowledgeable reader.”

—Christopher Jordan,
VP, Threat Intelligence, McAfee; Principal Investigator to DHS Botnet Research

“Remember the end-of-semester review sessions where the instructor would go over everything from the whole term in just enough detail so you would understand all the key points, but also leave you with enough references to dig deeper where you wanted? Hacking Exposed™ Malware & Rootkits resembles this! A top-notch reference for novices and security professionals alike, this book provides just enough detail to explain the topics being presented, but not too much to dissuade those new to security.”

—LTC Ron Dodge,
U.S. Army

“Hacking Exposed™ Malware & Rootkits provides unique insights into the techniques behind malware and rootkits. If you are responsible for security, you must read this book!”

—Matt Conover,
Senior Principal Software Engineer, Symantec Research Labs
