Book Review: Malware

Malware: Fighting Malicious Code by Ed Skoudis will be hitting a bookstore shelf near you sometime later this month. Ed Skoudis is already well-known for his book Counter Hack and his video CD tutorial The Hack Counter-Hack Training Course. He is an accomplished information security expert and an instructor / speaker for SANS. This book is one of the best in the information security field for two reasons. First, it addresses a highly relevant topic - viruses, worms and other malicious code are almost constantly headline news these days. Second, it addresses the subject to a level of detail not found in other information security books. This is a must-read book for network and security administrators to learn what they need to know about how and why malicious code works and what they need to do to protect their networks.
