I have read through the chapters of this book several times, and it is helpful from start to finish. It starts out with well written introductory chapters to catch people back up on the knowledge they need in order to properly grasp later concepts, and it does it well! Concepts such as a basic understanding of bits and x86 assembly that are not otherwise easily grasped. This book also contains a plethora of information on malware structure, basic tooling used to understand malware, and is often written in a playful and enjoyable manner that assists in making the content a pleasure to read. I know it says "Windows" in the title, but many of the topics covered and tooling carries over to other platforms as well.
Very thorough book, I enjoyed reading it !The technical subject is quite high level but thanks to a wonderful and precise introduction about the basics of reverse engineering and disassembling, you can attain your goals of understanding malicious codes.I recommend tremendously !
Wonderful published book. Great vendor!!
