Discription:
Malicious code is a set of instructions that runs on your computer and makes your system do
something that you do not want it to do. For example, it can delete sensitive configuration files
from your hard drive, rendering your computer completely inoperable infect your computer and use
it as a jumping-off point to spread to all of your buddies' computers and steal files from your
machine. Malicious code in the hands of a crafty attacker is indeed powerful. It's becoming even
more of a problem because many of the very same factors fueling the evolution of the computer
industry are making our systems even more vulnerable to malicious code. Specifically, malicious
code writers benefit from the trends toward mixing static data and executable instructions,
increasingly homogenous computing environments, unprecedented connectivity, an ever-larger
clueless user base, and an unfriendly world. Skoudis addressed malicious code in just one chapter
of his previous book. Here, a dozen chapters focus on one of the most interesting and rapidly
developing areas of computer attacks.*Chapter 11, Defender's Toolbox, rolls together the
defensive strategies described in the book. As a bonus, Skoudis gives recipes for creating your
own malicious code analysis laboratory using cheap hardware and software.
