Malware Analyst’s Cookbook is a collection of solutions and tutorials designed to enhance the skill set and analytical capabilities of anyone who works with, or against, malware. Whether you’re performing a forensic investigation, responding to anincident, or reverse-engineering malware for fun or as a profession, this book teaches you creative ways to accomplish your goals. The material for this book was designed with sev-eral objectives in mind. The first is that we wanted to convey our many years of experience in dealing with malicious code in a manner friendly enough for non-technical readers to understand, but complex enough so that technical readers won’t fall asleep.
That being said, malware analysis requires a well-balanced combination of many different skills. We expect that our readers have at least a general familiarity with the following topics:
• Networking and TCP/IP
• Operating system internals (Windows and Unix)
• Computer security
• Forensics and incident response
• Programming (C, C++, Python, and Perl)
• Reverse-engineering
• Vulnerability research
• Malware basics
Our second objective is to teach you how various tools work, rather than just how to use the tools. If you understand what goes on when you click a button (or type a command) as opposed to just knowing which button to click, you’ll be better equipped to perform an analysis on the tool’s output instead of just collecting the output.
