Alex Matrosov is a leading offensive security
researcher at NVIDIA. He has more than two decades of experience
with reverse engineering, advanced malware analysis, firmware
security, and exploitation techniques. 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.
Eugene 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.
Sergey 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.
“This deep reference, jam-packed with code and technical
information, will support an engineer or system administrator
tasked with putting these vulnerabilities in their
place.”
—Ben Rothke, Security Management
“Alex Matrosov, Eugene Rodionov, and Sergey Bratus are experts in
their field that have delivered a solid hands-on technical book.
While enthralled with the stories from the trenches, I got
flashbacks of my days of analyzing rootkits on SunOS and Solaris
workstations about 20 years ago. It was a fun book to
read.”
—Sven Dietrich, Cipher: the newsletter of the IEEE Computer
Society's Technical Committee on Security and Privacy
"I enjoyed reading the book and learning about the malware, even if
it was not particularly relevant to me, as 'I don’t do Windows.'
Still, there’s more than enough here that’s relevant to Linux
users, as malware writers are now turning their attention to Linux
servers."
—Rik Farrow, USENIX ;login: magazine
"[A] seminal book that explains how to understand and counter
sophisticated, advanced threats buried deep in a machine’s boot
process or UEFI firmware."
—Business Wire
