    Description of Professional Rootkits

    Whether you want to learn how to develop a robust, full featured rootkit or you re looking for effective ways to prevent one from being installed on your network, this hands on resource provides you with the tools you'll need. Expert developer Ric Vieler walks you through all of the capabilities of rootkits, the technology they use, steps for developing and testing them, and the detection methods to impede their distribution. This book provides the detailed, step by step instructions and examples required to produce full featured, robust rootkits. Presented in modular sections, source code from each chapter can be used separately or together to produce highly specific functionality. In addition, Vieler details the loading, configuration, and control techniques used to deploy rootkits. All ancillary software is fully detailed with supporting source code and links to the compilers, utilities, and scripts necessary to build and run every example provided.
    The complete coverage of all major rootkit technologies include: kernel hooks, process injection, I/O filtering, I/O control, memory management, process synchronization, TDI communication, network filtering, email filtering, key logging, process hiding, device driver hiding, registry key hiding, directory hiding and more. It has complete coverage of the compilers, kits, utilities, and tools required to develop robust rootkits. There are techniques for protecting your system by detecting a rootkit before it is installed, and ways to create modular, commercial grade software. This book is for anyone who is involved in software development or computer security. Wrox "Professional" guides are planned and written by working programmers to meet the real world needs of programmers, developers, and IT professionals. Focused and relevant, they address the issues technology professionals face every day. They provide examples, practical solutions, and expert education in new technologies, all designed to help programmers do a better job.
