Build Your Own Linux Tools for Binary Instrumentation, Analysis, and Disassembly
Stop manually analyzing binary! This book presents advanced binary analysis topics such as binary instrumentation, dynamic taint analysis, and symbolic execution in an accessible manner. As malware becomes more adept at obfuscation and anti-analysis techniques, sophisticated methods are essential to unveil the true properties of binary programs. The aim of binary analysis is to understand and possibly modify what binaries actually do, beyond initial assumptions. While reverse engineering and disassembly are critical first steps, this guide delves deeper into the fascinating challenges of binary analysis and instrumentation. Targeted at security engineers, hackers, and those with a foundational knowledge of C/C++ and x86-64, the book covers everything from basic binary formats to advanced techniques. You'll learn to analyze binaries using the GNU/Linux toolchain, disassembly, and code injection, and implement profiling tools with Pin. Additionally, you'll build dynamic taint analysis tools with libdft and symbolic execution tools using Triton. Key skills include parsing ELF and PE binaries, modifying ELF binaries through parasitic code injection, and employing data-flow analysis techniques. You'll also learn to create custom disassembly tools with Capstone, use binary instrumentation to counteract malware tricks, and apply taint analysis for security. Exercises at the end of each chapter reinforce your skills, guiding you fro
Modern Operating Systems incorporates the latest developments and technologies in operating systems (OS) technologies. Author Andy Tanenbaum's clear and entertaining writing style outlines the concepts every OS designer needs to master. In-depth topic coverage includes processes, threads, memory management, file systems, I/O, deadlocks, interface design, multimedia, performance tradeoffs, and trends in OS design. Case studies explore popular OS and provide real-world context. Tanenbaum also provides information on current research based on his experience as an operating systems researcher. The 5th Edition keeps pace with modern OS with a new chapter on Windows 11, new security coverage, an emphasis on flash-based solid-state drives and more.
