Really useful for beginners to dive deeper in the field of reverse engineering. I particularly appreciate the details about different malware and what dll / API calls they usually use, etc.

In the past, I personally gone through some other books/resources to understand the details of concepts like API hooking, DLL/Process Injection, Obfuscation, Kernel-Mode Rootkits & so on...Those other books/resources either get directly into those advanced things (which can be difficult for beginners), or they had explanations using older OS platforms which is good conceptually, but they didn't have things related to today's latest approaches & techniques.Then I came across this "Mastering Malware Analysis" book, now I'm out of words to tell how brilliantly it covered & organized the required concepts as beginner to advanced one after other! 😇I wanted to give quick overview of major 4 parts of this book to help people understand how it greatly aligns & gives you deeper details:In part 1, Fundamental Theory, it starts with most important basics like explaining Malware Analysis, its Types, Strategies, Setup for a safer analysis environment & so on. Then the crucial Assembly Programming makes you familiar with different platforms like x86, ARM, MIPS, PowerPC, SuperH, SPARC etc...In part 2, we dive into Windows Malware to cover details like static/dynamic analysis, Debugging, Behavioral analysis, Unpacking, Decryption & De-obfuscation, Process Injection, API hooking, Anti-RE techniques, Kernel-Mode Rootkits etc.In part 3, Cross-platform & Bytecode-based Malware, we get details about exploits, shellcode, & reversing bytecode languages like .NET, Java etc.In part 4, we dive into IoT & other platforms that cover Linux & IoT Malware, macOS & iOS Threats, Android Malware etc.In the end, I highly recommend this book to everyone who loves to reading & want to get really deeper on various advanced concepts in Cybersecurity with latest high-quality knowledge. Also, as a bonus it covers the majority of popular platforms like Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, Windows etc. so you get all in one package! ✌😊

This book is the second edition of a well-reviewed book on Malware Analysis. The book covers a broad scope of the field of malware analysis, going beyond the basics. It provides a very good overview of how malware works, what it can do, and how to identify them. This covers topics ranging from Basic Static and Dynamic Analysis for x86/x64, Bypassing Anti-Reverse Engineering Techniques, Analyzing Android Malware Samples, and much more! I highly recommend this book for those who are newcomers to the topic and those who want to further their skills in malware analysis and reverse engineering.

I have read the old book before and it was a really good book. It has helped me to understand the basics. Just finished this book, it's good and talks about malware analysis and related topics in more depth. I would recommend this book to any security professional who wants to start a career in this domain as well as an enthusiast.

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:
