5.0 out of 5 stars Massive, magnificient, mischievous, machiavelian, Malware!, Mar 4 2004
Eds latest book is his best and most fun to read. This tome is an amazing treatise on malicious code. Ed has outdone himself in his categorization, and in depth analysis of evil code. This book addresses the full gamut of types of malware, from trojans to kernel and user level root kits.

I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to know more about how malicious code works, and how to defend against it. This should be required reading for software engineers, so that they truly understand the very nature of how attackers ply their craft.

Put on your tinfoil hats, this book is a great read!

Great book. I especially appreciated the technical detail that Jay Beale put into the Preprocessor section. Just the type of technical detail necessary for this complex topic. Brian did a great job putting this book together, it was definitely needed by the community.

This book is a good guide to help the novice snorter through the mud of deploying snort at home or work.

Good stuff. thanks for writing this!
