Foreword

Malware seems never-ending on the Internet today and only more complex by the minute. The threat research community and the security industry struggle with the high demand for advanced malware defense owing to a significant deficit for talent around this specialized tradecraft. Over the years we have witnessed a consistent reactionary approach from antivirus solutions and only lately has the realization of a shift taken place that focuses on genuinely getting ahead of the threat. One attempt to counter this problem is acknowledging that the proliferation of scalable knowledge transfer is paramount. And thus comes this book…

I had the honor of working with Christopher Elisan on a threat research team a few years back, and we’ve stayed in touch throughout the years. He has always demonstrated an extraordinary talent for reverse engineering and malware analysis backed by an encyclopedic knowledge of the inventive weapons deployed by online threat adversaries. From Chapter 1, this book jumps right in and then takes the reader on an iteratively well-written journey at an impressively up tempo but steady pace. Christopher expresses his confidence on the subject in a manner that is balanced with respect and trust for the reader’s intelligence and capabilities. I’m very excited to see the second edition of Hacking Exposed™: Malware and Rootkits hit the shelves as this tome’s content successfully fuses intense deep logic while also introducing a multitude of thought-provoking lateral applications that empower the reader to build proactive countermeasures against some of the most advanced technical threats.

Whether you’re just getting into malware research or you’re a veteran in the field, you will finish reading this book happily satisfied, as you will gain unique and relevant insights that will greatly enhance your accomplishments in this field.

It is with immense honor that I say…sincerely, enjoy the book!
