Malware: Fighting Malicious Code: "Adam Jenkins writes 'I have had a fair bit of experience with malware, from removing DOS viruses to removing rootkits on Windows servers. Currently I am working in desktop support at a university -- exactly where many of the anti-malware battles occur.' With that background, he provides a review of the reprinted Malware: Fighting Malicious Code, writing 'As with many things computer-related, this book might age quickly, but it has lots of sound theory that will stay relevant for a long time, even if it doesn't discuss the latest worm by name. I haven't read the author's earlier book (Counter Hack: A Step-by-Step Guide to Computer Attacks and Effective Defenses) but he is well known as both the author of that and also for the SANS lectures he runs.' Read on for the rest of Jenkins' review, or revisit Matt Linton's review."—Slashdot:
