As a follow-up to the best seller Malware Analysts Cookbook, experts in the fields of malware, security, and digital forensics bring you a step-by-step guide to memory forensicsnow the most sought after skill in the digital forensics and incident response fields. Beginning with introductory concepts and moving toward the advanced, The Art of Memory Forensics Detecting Malware and Threats in Windows, Linux, and Mac Memory is based on a five day training course that the authors have presented to hundreds of students. It is the only book on the market that focuses exclusively on memory forensics and how to deploy such techniques properly. Discover memory forensics techniques ul lHow volatile memory analysis improves digital investigationsl lProper investigative steps for detecting stealth malware and advanced threatsl lHow to use free, open source tools for conducting thorough memory forensicsl lWays to acquire memory from suspect systems in a forensically sound mannerl ul The next era of malware and security breaches are more sophisticated and targeted, and the volatile memory of a computer is often overlooked or destroyed as part of the incident response process. The Art of Memory Forensics explains the latest technological innovations in digital forensics to help bridge this gap. It covers the most popular and recently released versions of Windows, Linux, and Mac, including both the 32 and 64-bit editions. **From the Back Cover SOPHISTICATED DISCOVERY AND ANALYSIS FOR THE NEXT WAVE OF DIGITAL ATTACKS The Art of Memory Forensics, a follow-up to the bestselling Malware Analysts Cookbook, is a practical guide to the rapidly emerging investigative technique for digital forensics, incident response, and law enforcement. Memory forensics has become a must-have skill for combating the next era of advanced malware, targeted attacks, security breaches, and online crime. As breaches and attacks become more sophisticated, analyzing volatile memory becomes ever more critical to the investigative process. This book provides a comprehensive guide to performing memory forensics for Windows, Linux, and Mac systems, including x64 architectures. Based on the authors popular training course, coverage includes memory acquisition, rootkits, tracking user activity, and more, plus case studies that illustrate the real-world application of the techniques presented. Bonus materials include industry-applicable exercises, sample memory dumps, and cutting-edge memory forensics software. Memory forensics is the art of analyzing RAM to solve digital crimes. Conventional incident response often overlooks volatile memory, which contains crucial information that can prove or disprove the systems involvement in a crime, and can even destroy it completely. By implementing memory forensics techniques, analysts are able to preserve memory resident artifacts which often provides a more efficient strategy for investigating modern threats. In The Art of Memory Forensics, the Volatility Projects team of experts provides functional guidance and practical advice that helps readers to ul lAcquire memory from suspect systems in a forensically sound mannerl lLearn best practices for Windows, Linux, and Mac memory forensicsl lDiscover how volatile memory analysis improves digital investigationsl lDelineate the proper investigative steps for detecting stealth malware and advanced threatsl lUse free, open source tools to conduct thorough memory forensics investigationsl lGenerate timelines, track user activity, find hidden artifacts, and morel ul The companion website provides exercises for each chapter, plus data that can be used to test the various memory analysis techniques in the book.

Author: John Barton File Type: pdf This book provides the first complete guide for students to the present state of biblical studies. The twenty-one specially commissioned chapters are written by established scholars from North America and Britain, and represent both traditional and contemporary points of view. The chapters in Part One cover all the methods and approaches currently practised in the academic study of the Bible, while those in Part Two examine the major categories of books in the Bible from the perspective of recent scholarship - e.g. historical books of the Old Testament, Gospels, prophetic literature. Major issues raised are the relation of modern critical study of the Bible to pre-critical and post-critical approaches the place of history in the study of the Bible feminist, liberationist and new historicist concerns the relation of Christian and Jewish scholarship and recent interest in the Bible as literature.Amazon.com ReviewThe Cambridge Companion to Biblical Interpretation, despite its dry-as-dust title, is a feast of answers to the extremely juicy question, What does the Bible mean? Editor John Barton shaped this book of essays as a progress report on biblical interpretation in the 1990s. He invited leading scholars to provide 10-to-20 page definitions and summaries of recent developments in fields such as feminist interpretation, literary criticism, political reading, and sociological criticism. As Barton notes, there emerges from this book a perception among many biblical scholars that the newest approaches are also a restoration of something very old. In other words, abstract hyphenates like historical-critical are helping scholars, pastors, and tuned-in laypeople learn to read like the fathers and mothers of faith. The fresh perspectives presented here make it possible to return to the Scriptures with renewed openness to the many shades of revelation. --Michael Joseph GrossReviewThese studies are very informative overviews of the particular subjects and their advocates, and they will be persuasive to those who share the assumptions with which the topics are addressed. E. Earle Ellis, Southwestern Journal of Theology...a progress report on biblical interpretation in the 1990s.... New Testament AbstractsFor an overview of recent Bible scholarship, one cannot do better than The Cambridge Companion to Biblical Interpretation....this is a lively, thorough, easy-to-read guide to the action. Tom DEvelyn, The Providence Sunday JournalThis is one of the best collections addressing methodological approaches and their application and is an important teaching tool in the face of the bewildering array of methodologies presently employed.
