The Rootkit Arsenal: Escape and Evasion in the Dark Corners of the System

While forensic analysis has proven to be a valuable investigative tool in the field of computer security, utilizing anti-forensic technology makes it possible to maintain a covert operational foothold for extended periods, even in a high-security environment. Adopting an approach that favors full disclosure, the updated Second Edition of The Rootkit Arsenal presents the most accessible, timely, and complete coverage of forensic countermeasures. This book covers more topics, in greater depth, than any other currently available. In doing so the author forges through the murky back alleys of the Internet, shedding light on material that has traditionally been poorly documented, partially documented, or intentionally undocumented.

The range of topics presented includes how to:

Evade post-mortem analysis
Frustrate attempts to reverse engineer your command & control modules
Defeat live incident response
Undermine the process of memory analysis
Modify subsystem internals to feed misinformation to the outside
Entrench your code in fortified regions of execution
Design and implement covert channels
Unearth new avenues of attack
