Guide to Computer Viruses
For those who didn't buy the first edition, welcome aboard. For those who did buy the first edition, welcome back, and thanks for making the second edition possible. For those who bought the first edition and are standing in the book store wondering whether to buy the second, what's in it for you? Well, for one thing, it's smaller. (No, no! Don't leave!) I tried to make the first edition a kind of master reference for antiviral protection. That meant I included a lot of stuff that I thought might possibly be helpful, even if I had some doubts about it. This time I've tried to be a little more selective. I've added a little more material to Chapter 4 (Computer Opera tions and Viral Operations) dealing with the question of computer vi ruses infecting data files and the new "macro" viruses. I've added two new sections to Chapter 7 (The Virus and Society). One looks at the increasing problem of false alarms while the other looks at the ethics of virus writing and exchange.
Computer Viruses and Malware
Our Internet-connected society increasingly relies on computers. As a result, attacks on computers from malicious software have never been a bigger concern. Computer Viruses and Malware draws together hundreds of sources to provide an unprecedented view of malicious software and its countermeasures. This book discusses both the technical and human factors involved in computer viruses, worms, and anti-virus software. It also looks at the application of malicious software to computer crime and information warfare. Computer Viruses and Malware is designed for a professional audience composed of researchers and practitioners in industry. This book is also suitable as a secondary text for advanced-level students in computer science.
Art of Computer Virus Research and Defense, The, Portable Documents
Symantec's chief antivirus researcher has written the definitive guide to contemporary virus threats, defense techniques, and analysis tools. Unlike most books on computer viruses, The Art of Computer Virus Research and Defense is a reference written strictly for white hats: IT and security professionals responsible for protecting their organizations against malware. Peter Szor systematically covers everything you need to know, including virus behavior and classification, protection strategies, antivirus and worm-blocking techniques, and much more. Szor presents the state-of-the-art in both malware and protection, providing the full technical detail that professionals need to handle increasi...
Computer Viruses: from theory to applications
A precise and exhaustive description of different types of malware from three different points of view, namely the theoretical fundamentals of computer virology, algorithmic and practical aspects of viruses and their potential applications to various areas.
The Giant Black Book of Computer Viruses
In this book you'll learn everything you wanted to know about computer viruses, ranging from the simplest 44-byte virus right on up to viruses for 32-bit Windows, Unix and the Internet. You'll learn how anti-virus programs stalk viruses and what viruses do to evade these digital policemen, including stealth techniques and poly-morphism. Next, you'll take a fascinating trip to the frontiers of science and learn about genetic viruses. Will such viruses take over the world, or will they become the tools of choice for the information warriors of the 21st century? Finally, you'll learn about payloads for viruses, not just destructive code, but also how to use a virus to compromise the security of a computer, and the possibility of beneficial viruses.
Computer Viruses and Anti-virus Warfare
In this treatment of how to defend against the onslaught of computer viruses that currently infect the IBM PC class of machines, Hruska explains how computer viruses are created, and how they spread. He discusses how malicious software such as Trojan Horses, Logic Bombs, or viruses work, and explains how they may even be used together. He offers practical advice on how to avoid situations that would result in the possible introduction of viruses into the computer systems, and provides a list of more than 40 organizations that provide commercial products to combat viruses. These products can be used to test computer systems to see whether they are infected, and to combat any infection. He also provides two programs in C language to detect viruses. ISBN 0-7458-0804-2; 32.95.
A Short Course on Computer Viruses
Written by a pioneer in the field, this updated and expanded revision covers all aspects of computer viruses. New results include: analysis of the epidemiology of computer viruses, new forms of virus evolution that will render most current safeguards useless, strategy and tactics in virus defenses, assessment of synergistic effects in attack and defense. Features new chapters on LANs, international and `good' viruses. Software includes a virus scanner, a password generator and checker, an `integrity' shell to test systems and much more. Packed with historical facts, anecdotes and authentic examples.
A Pathology of Computer Viruses
The 1980's saw the advent of widespread (and potentially damaging) computer virus infection of both personal computer and mainframe systems. The computer security field has been comparatively slow to react to this emerging situation. It is only over the last two years that a significant body of knowledge on the operation, likely evolution and prevention of computer viruses has developed. A Pathology of Computer Viruses gives a detailed overview of the history of the computer virus and an in-depth technical review of the principles of computer virus and worm operation under DOS, Mac, UNIX and DEC operating systems. David Ferbrache considers the possible extension of the threat to the mainfram...
Combating Computer Viruses
The word "virus" conjures up a scary image. Just as people don't want to be infected by a virus that might make them sick, they don't want their computers—and other electronic devices—infected by computer viruses. This must-read guide explains “electronic infections" and viruses, including Trojan horses and worms. Readers can arm themselves using the safety guidelines in the text to help combat and prevent the spread of these damaging computer programs.
