Authored by offensive security, firmware, and Unix/Linux security specialists, the book grounds its perspective in reverse engineering, advanced malware analysis, and exploitation techniques. It also highlights BIOS and kernel-mode security interests alongside anti-rootkit and detection methods. The front matter establishes author expertise, technical review credentials, and the book’s focus on modern threat capabilities.","Rootkits and Bootkits  \nReversing Modern Malware and Next Generation Threats  \nAlex Matrosov, Eugene Rodionov, and Sergey Bratus  \nForeword by Rodrigo Rubira Branco  \nrootkits and bootkits  \nRootkits and bootkits  \nReversing Modern Malware and next Generation threats  \nby Alex Mat rosov, Eugene Rodionov, and Sergey Bratus  \nSan Francisco  \nrootkits and bootkits.

Before joining NVIDIA, Alex served as Principal Security Researcher at Intel Security Center of Excellence (SeCoE), spent more than six years in the Intel Advanced Threat Research team, and was Senior Security Researcher at ESET. Alex has authored and co-authored numerous research papers and is a frequent speaker at security conferences, including REcon, ZeroNights, Black Hat, DEFCON, and others. Alex received an award from Hex-Rays for his open source plug-in HexRaysCodeXplorer, supported since 2013 by the team at REhint.  \nEugene Rodionov, PhD, is a Security Researcher at Intel working in BIOS security for Client Platforms. Before that, Rodionov ran internal research projects and performed in-depth analysis of complex threats at ESET. His fields of interest include firmware security, kernel-mode programming, anti-rootkit technologies, and reverse engineering. Rodionov has spoken at security conferences, such as Black Hat, REcon, ZeroNights, and CARO, and has co-authored numerous research papers.  \nSergey Bratus is a Research Associate Professor in the Computer Science Department at Dartmouth College. He has previously worked at BBN Technologies on Natural Language Processing research. Bratus is interested in all aspects of Unix security, in particular Linux kernel security, and detection and reverse engineering of Linux malware.  \nabout the technical reviewer  \nRod","cbCaia9fBjOr012H","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaia9fBjOr012H","pdf",16006720,4,1,450,"English","en",105,"# About the authors\n## Technical background and research interests\n## About the technical reviewer","[{\"question\":\"Who are the book’s authors and what expertise do they bring?\",\"answer\":\"Alex Matrosov is an offensive security researcher focused on reverse engineering, malware analysis, firmware security, and exploitation.
